How to do your own shadow puppetry show
I am a Dutch children's book writer who has been living in the United States (NJ) since 1995. It all started when I promised to do puppetry at my son's preschool. I decided on shadow puppetry, thinking that paper puppets would not take me too much time to make. I was wrong: seven years later I am still doing it.
Of all things you can do with shadow puppetry, I like creating performances with children best. Right now, I am working on a book for children grade 3 to 6, showing how to put up a shadow puppetry show at home using stories from Greek mythology.
