“Lethan woke up the dormant magic in our middle school students with his tales and workshops. He has inspired them well beyond the day he spent at school as they continue to appreciate one another’s creativity and to seek out stories to share with each other, ‘just like the storyteller did.’ ”
- Kathy Morrow, Creative Writing Teacher, Centre Learning Community Charter School
