The Gift of Story When we share our hearts through story, we inspire others to think more deeply about their own hearts and how stories connect us all. John Schu invites readers to consider literacy beyond its academic benefits, highlighting the ways story speaks to our hearts and brings us together. Presented through a study of five affective elements of story --- healer, inspiration, clarifier, compassion, and connector --- John will discuss how the universal truths found in stories can change us, inspire us, connect us to others, answer our deepest questions, and help us heal.
