On today's episode of the "Helping Families Be Happy" podcast, host Christopher Robbins, co-founder of Familius Publishing, husband, father of nine, author, fisherman, backpacker, and aspirational musician based in the Central Valley of California, talks to Antonio Sacre, a bilingual Cuban and Irish American writer. As a writer in television, Antonio focuses on multicultural family dynamics, telling universal stories with authenticity and culturally specific details. He is a featured storyteller at the National Storytelling Festival and other global events, inspiring audiences to embrace their family narratives. Antonio's stories, published in award-winning books like "My Name is Cool," and audio recordings, highlight the power of storytelling in fostering resilience and strengthening family relationships.   Episode Highlights: 01:46: Antonio introduces himself as a storyteller, emphasizing curiosity and the art of asking questions. He shares his journey into storytelling, starting with family inquiries and later discovering storytelling as a profession. 03:07: Antonio discusses the value of storytelling in family environments, emphasizing its role in building connections, creating joy, and fostering easier communication between parents and children. 04:20: Antonio suggests incorporating storytelling into daily activities, such as car rides, meal preparations, and walks. He highlights the importance of creating a storytelling space and being present by minimizing distractions like devices. 06:56: Christopher and Antonio delve into the essence of storytelling, touching on the idea that the details of a story may not matter as much as the overall message or connection it conveys. 07:54: Antonio advises parents to realize they have stories to share, even if they don't see themselves as storytellers. He encourages exploring family history, using car rides for storytelling, and finding opportunities to share stories during daily activities. 08:11 Antonio encourages individuals to recognize the abundance of stories in their lives, offering suggestions on where and how to tell them. 11:44: Antonio explains the concept that details don't matter in storytelling unless they are crucial to the point of the story. He shares an example of forgetting the chalk bag during a climbing competition and how a coach's story helped his son in a similar situation. 13:37: Christopher and Antonio discuss the role of reading in storytelling. Antonio recommends starting with family stories and then expanding to collections of folk tales from the library, emphasizing the importance of librarians in this process. 16:54: Antonio emphasizes the power of stories, drawing from personal experiences with his own family's stories, the brain's response to storytelling, and its impact on literacy. He shares Maya Angelou's quote about the lasting emotional impact of storytelling. 18:23 Christopher interjects with a remark about the significance of libraries, citing David McCullough's comment that there are more libraries than McDonald's, which Antonio appreciates. 23:10 Antonio highlights the impact of stories on brain activity, language acquisition, empathy, and reading skills.   Key Points: Storytelling is crucial for creating strong bonds within families by sharing personal experiences and traditions. Rather than getting every detail right, prioritize the core message of a story to deepen the emotional connection and understanding. Research suggests that storytelling activates specific brain circuits, contributing to improved language acquisition, prevention of conditions like Alzheimer's, and enhanced literacy skills in children.   Tweetable Quotes: "Family stories weave the fabric of connection, creating a tapestry of shared experiences and traditions”. - Antonio "Immerse your family in the power of shared narratives; it's the secret sauce that fosters resilience in tough times.” - Antonio Storytelling is the universal language that binds generations – a timeless gift passed down like a cherished heirloom.” - Antonio   Resources Mentioned Helping Families Be Happy Podcast Apple https://www.antoniosacre.com/ Podcast Editing

After all the amazing events that unfold, his son declares him as the "second best dad in the world". What would make him the best dad? Listen to this story to find out.(46:2) This last story is a short story from Antonio Sacre about his childhood teddy bear. Stuffed animals are usually precious gems for children as they grow up, and it is always devastating when they get lost. This story is about one of the times Antonio lost his stuffed teddy bear.

In today's episode of the “Helping Families be Happy” podcast, host Dr. Carla Marie Manly, a practicing Clinical Psychologist, Wellness Advocate, and Author based in Sonoma County, California talks with Antonio Sacre, an American Author, Solo Performer, and Storyteller. Antonio speaks about his book ‘My Name is Cool'. This book is about what it is like to be in between two cultures and languages, and how do we celebrate and survive that. This book teaches children to be proud of their heritage and the things that make them different. This is inspired by Antonio's personal history growing up as a Cuban-Irish-American.     Episode Highlights 01:00 – Antonio mentions, that his father comes from Cuba and his mom is an Irish American, so on his Cuban side of the family, they have all of these nicknames. He is called various names by different people. 04:12 – Antonio was in between two cultures and was never quite sure, how and where did he fit in there. 06:10 – One summer when Antonio was a kid, he went through every single novel and read them twice and from there began his deep love affair with books.  08:56 – We are those people who are in between cultures, languages, and parents, states Antonio. 10:20 – For years, Antonio has been making a living by telling stories to children in classrooms, libraries, and festivals. 12:02 – There are two women from the Familius group that are helping him with the book coming out next year and one of them is from Korea, and he wrote it specifically thinking of families who speak Spanish.  14:30 – This book tells us about what we do and how we do it when somebody is different from us. 16:10 - Antonio wants kids to go home and investigate, why they have that middle name? Why were they named after for whom with they named after? 18:34 - If you're embarrassed by your nickname and you don't want to share it, you don't have to, says Antonio. 23:02 – There's something fun in that other language, says Dr. Carla Marie Manly. 25:45 – Antonio has been working with teachers on a district level, how they can use the power of storytelling, and oral tradition to help their kids learn reading and writing. 28:00 – Parents should talk to their kids about who they know, there are 100 people in their family that their kids don't know about, mentions Antonio. 31:36 – Antonio is trying to remind parents of this simple thing that is just such a huge part of who we are as humans.  33:09 – Dr. Carla says she believes that so much healing takes place when we actively listen. 35:07 - These stories of our power or the power of our ancestors are fought can be formative, says Antonio. 37:50 – Talking with children about the hard things is helping them grow. 39:06 – We can't prepare our kids for every scenario, says Antonio 41:57 – Antonio suggests to all the parents who have adolescent kids that right now, they must be feeling like they have the worst kid in the world but they're not.  44:09 - If you're in trouble right now find a mentor, says the Antonio. 46:01 – Dr. Carla states that we all need mentors because if we don't have mentors, we struggle unnecessarily. Also, if we don't have mentors, we don't learn.   Three Key Points Antonio is the reader that then led to the writer and he is also that person who lives in that blended world of two cultures. So, he has that to offer. Antonio is writing for one specific audience member that little girl whose parent comes from Mexico and the other comes from Germany. And she's having the same thing he had. And then obviously, he hopes that it reaches the universal. There are a lot of kids who are going to feel different ways and he wants them to be proud of how they feel. We do want to protect our children and the little ones in our lives, but we also want them to know that they have the power to move forward in life despite the obstacles that come our way.     Tweetable Quotes “Years later, from all those years of reading and years of the journal, journal keeping, I now can say that I am a writer.” - Antonio Sacre “I want kids and families as they're reading that book out loud to be laughing for sure.' – Antonio Sacre “There were kids who would make fun of my dad in a way that was funny.” – Antonio Sacre “It's very hard for someone who doesn't speak the language to be able to speak the language in a way that sounds good to the language speaker.” – Antonio Sacre “Well, tell me about you or tell me how I pronounce your name or how do you prefer to be addressed, right?” - Dr. Carla Marie Manly  “I was named after my dad who was named after his dad who was named after his dad, so you can see it's the Cubans.” - Antonio Sacre “I'm named after a man I never met. I'll never meet who was my dad's best friend whom he never saw again.' – Antonio Sacre “Well, it's cool, and we are all cool. Despite our differences because of our differences. If we take the time to slow down, we are all pretty darn cool people.” - Dr. Carla Marie Manly  “You bring classrooms and assemblies the gift of laughter and heart and connection and understanding through the power of a name.” - Dr. Carla Marie Manly  “If stories don't always have happy endings, we can use them as learning opportunities.” - Dr. Carla Marie Manly  “One of the biggest gifts we can give as parents are to show you know here are the boundaries.' - Dr. Carla Marie Manly  “If we don't have mentors in our lives, then we stop evolving and transforming.” - Dr. Carla Marie Manly  “A podcast can be a mentor, a best friend who has wisdom in an area could be a mentor somebody a co-worker or a partner.” - Dr. Carla Marie Manly    Resources Mentioned Helping Families be Happy Podcast Apple Carla Marie Manly Website LinkedIn Twitter Instagram Antonio Sacre: Website Instagram        Twitter Podcast Editing

Antonio Sacre is the son of a Cuban father and an Irish-American mother. When he was a kid, it took him a minute to connect with his incredible roots. This is part of his story.

He has performed at the Library of Congress, the Kennedy Center and the National Storytelling Festival.

His stories have been published in award-winning books and audio recordings. His Professional Developments and Keynote addresses have helped educators teach writing to students from pre-Kindergarten through graduate school. He has often said that one of the most important parts of storytelling is family. He jokes that while he has built his career around his family's stories, he's considered the clan's 10th best storyteller, “and that's an honor. Sacre says that building family connections is the most important reason to tell stories to your children – especially in a world where we're all more inclined to text than to talk.

Fire is an integral part of humanity. It is studied in history, chemistry, physics, nature, and much more. It plays a role in folktales, cooking and all walks of life- providing warmth and light as well as danger. In these stories we will see how fire can play a part in all walks of life- whether it be through the sun and folklore of light, or the tiniest firefly, fire is part of all of humanity and all of nature. As an element it demands respect as it can be destructive and terrifying. But, it can also bring much warmth and wonder to one's life if you learn how to control it and respect it. It takes bravery to face a fire, but sometimes it comes just when you need it. So, as we listen through these stories, think about fire and the wonder of life that it can bring. On today's episode, enjoy the following:"The Boy and the Firefly" by Antonio Rocha from Cross Roads: Stories from Brazil & the World (7:08)Antonio Rocha is a native of Brazil and includes imagery from Brazil's vast landscape in a lot of his stories. In this story he details the adventure a little boy takes into the jungle when he follows a beautiful bird. A little like Mogli from The Jungle Book, this little boy encounters many different animals, simply asking them if they could lead him home. All refuse until a small firefly comes and lights his way home. This story plays the line between nature and humanity wonderfully.  "The Rabbit In The Moon" by Antonio Sacre from Water Torture, the Barking Mouse, and Other Tales of Wonder (6:50)Antonio Sacre blends beautiful language of English and Spanish together in his fantastic tales and this tale is no different. This folk tale of why in Mexico you see a rabbit in the moon, describes the difference between bravery and beauty. When two characters go head to head- one beautiful and one brave- only one will come out triumphant and bring up the sun.  "The Goblin and the Grocer" by Diane Wolkstein from Hans Christian Andersen Classic Stories (8:20)In this wonderful story Diane Wolkstein describes a mischievous goblin and a miscommunication. Diane Wolkstein is a storyteller based in New York who focuses on fairytales and folktales. This story is all about a goblin not knowing where his heart truly lies- with the grocer who gives him butter? Or with the magic book that sings the most beautiful lullabies?  "Go Light The World on Fire" by Don White from Winning Streak (2:23)A singer songwriter and storyteller Don White shows us again just how to combine all of the light of stories with music in a wonderful way. Boston based Don White has been traveling and storytelling since before 2011, and has cultivated his craft throughout the years. In this wonderful song he depicts the real value of passion and light that can drive you to new places, and beyond the typical bounds of life. May we listen and reminisce, remembering to work towards what we love.  "York, Maine" by Mike Agranoff from Or Would You Rather Get A Job (3:42)Just as fire can be beautiful and wonderful it can also be destructive and fear inspiring. In this song by Mike Agranoff we see a wonderful story of the importance of knowing what you care about most. The importance of family and love and the fire of friendship can not be overcome by the fire of destruction.  "Hanukka in Chelm" by Joel Ben Izzy from Lights and Laughter (9:40)In this silly story Joel Ben Izzy describes the town of Chelm- a town of fools who think themselves smart. Joel Ben Izzy is an award-winning storyteller who begun storytelling in 1983. He has traveled in some 36 countries throughout North and South America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia. All of this traveling has informed a lot of his stories including this story about silly people and their battle against the elements.  "Og Saves the World" by Mark Binder from A Holiday Present (3:28)Mark binder is classically trained as an actor, director and playwright, he often tours the world as a performer, transmitting the joy of story across distances. He tells stories for adults and children and in this story he tells the story of Og- a man that is afraid of the sun going away. May this ball of fire not be eaten up by the snake in the sky, and if Og has anything to do about it, it won't.  "Gypsy Davey, One Year" After by Mike Agranoff from Or Would You Rather Get A Job (5:07)Mike Agranoff is a folk teller who “draws his material from sources as diverse as traditional ballads and fiddle tunes, Tin Pan Alley, contemporaries in the Folk World, and his own witty pen.” In this story song he describes the after-story of Gypsy Davey and what happened to him and his family after everything was over. It is a fun tale of sacrifice and new relationships, ever helped by time.  

If you know anything about animals, you know that you shouldn't ever get between a mother and her children. Whether it be a bird, a moose, or a bear, they will protect their young with a ferocity that would scare anyone. They're ferocious because they know there can be real threats out in the world. The trouble is, some threats aren't just out for the animals, they can be for us too. Luckily, we also have our protectors. It can be our parents, siblings, our friends, and maybe even others. Whoever it is, they help us face the world with confidence so we can succeed. Here on The Apple Seed we are bringing you stories about people who protect others or protect themselves through many means. We have stories from Sheila Startks, Antonio Sacre, and a Song by Ryan Shupe.   On today's episode, enjoy the following:“Gerald the Giant” by Sondra Singer from Stories of Rhythm and Fantasy (15:12)Our first story comes from Sondra Singer, a member of the Rocky Mountain Storytellers, and The National Storytelling Network. It's about a giant named Gerald. He's a kind giant who lives with a community of dwarves as their protector. As much as Gerald loves his dwarf neighbors, he gets kind of lonely without the company of someone else like him. When another giant comes through their neck of the woods, however, Gerald has to decide whether the giant is a threat or if she really just needs a friend. “Sole Provider” by Ryan Shupe from the Saga of Sanpitch (3:56)Who better to protect us than our parents? Not only do they protect us from danger, they also protect us from hunger, cold, sadness, and many other types of pain. They support us when we are in need, and help us reach our full potential. Unfortunately, not everyone's parents are this way, but we hope that everyone with children strives to be. Coming up is a song about parenthood, called “Sole Provider”.

On today's Apple Seed Extra, a little story called "Battling Giants" by the terrific LA storyteller Antonio Sacre.

We have a really fun time speaking with author/storyteller Antonio Sacre. His tales of growing up bilingually in a Cuban and Irish-American household have inspired children worldwide to gather their own family stories and become storytellers themselves.

In this episode Antonio Sacre and Michelle Jones discuss the history of storytelling, the art of storytelling, ways to bring stories to your classroom, and how to encourage students to tell their stories. Antonio encourages teachers of all age groups and content areas to share their stories with their students because stories bring people together, expand perspectives, develop oral language, support literacy development, and teach lessons about our world. Antonio and Michelle discuss how the craft of teaching writers involves finding the extraordinary in the ordinary, recognizing process preferences, and modeling our own writing struggles and triumphs. As many schools are beginning the year with remote and hybrid learning, they encourage teachers to "keep it simple during a complex time." Antonio Sacre might be the greatest storyteller you've never heard of. Antonio's tales of growing up bilingually in a Cuban and Irish-American household have inspired children worldwide to gather their own family stories and become storytellers themselves. Many of his stories have been published in award winning books and audio recordings. You might be familiar with My Name is Cool, The Barking Mouse, and A Mango in the Hand, if not you can access free recordings of these books and other stories by Antonio at https://antoniosacre.bandcamp.com/.

Antonio is a performing artist, author, and consultant to educators. He supports educators in thinking (of the many ways) how story fits into curriculum.  Now more than every, our stories matter. Whether we're teaching in brick and mortar classrooms, distance learning platforms, or at home learning...telling stories helps us to connect, focus, dream, and imagine the possibilities.  Thank you for joining Antonio and me as we together, think through the magic of story in our everyday lives.
