Barbara (Ayosea) Morse: Tales from Squnch Valley
239 South Kalmia Street, Escondido, 92025
Cost: Free
Stop by and say hello to 89-year-old author Barbara (Ayosea) Morse and Team Squnch at the Local Children's Author Bookfest. Turrentine Room, all ages welcome. Tales from Squnch Valley had its origin when Morse was working as a dance and movement teacher in the 1960’s. She would make up stories about sensitive little creatures, called Squnches, who emerged from their shells in a magical place called Squnch Valley. From the 1970's to the 1990's, Morse worked as a recreation therapist and used the Squnch stories as part of an expressive arts program and also gave numerous workshops to teachers and therapists.
