Background
Hello there, my name is Cheryl Beer & I am The Sleeping Storyteller. I have worked as an Arts & Well Being Consultant in Primary Education for 25 years. Gosh, that's a long time, isn't it! As you can imagine, I have met literally 1000's of children and their families &/or carers, supporting teachers whilst facilitating Creative Writing & Publishing Projects, from Author Focus Groups to setting up School Publishing Houses, from designing characters to writing whole school Story Maps.

I was the Creative Director of the Children's Storytelling Trail for The National Botanic Garden of Wales and the Creative Digital Developer for the Inaugural Storytelling for Health Conference. During this time, I could see the growing need for stories that help families to find mindful coping strategies, enabling them to better deal with the sometimes difficult issues that we face in today's world.

The Sleeping Storyteller writes and publishes little stories with BIG messages in teeny tiny books to slip under your pillow or in your school bag, bringing you comfort throughout your day & night. Click the books to find out more ...

​STORY COMMISSIONS
​You can Commission The Sleeping Storyteller to write a story for your Campaign, Event &/or Special Occasions. For instance, this year, Artscare Gofal Celf funded the publication of The Dancing Boy & His Shadow for World Autism Day and PIP-UK  commissioned a story to raise awareness of Poland Syndrome, publishing story books for children and grown ups, as well as commissioning a Storytelling film for their Family Day. The Sleeping Storyteller was a Guest Speaker & Panel Guest at The International Storytelling for Health Conference in Swansea, a regular at book fairs, had her own TV Series at Showboat TV, as well as regularly sharing bedtime stories on Facebook LIVE.
BOOKS@HOME CAMPAIGN

The Sleeping Storyteller believes that all children should have equal access to books, which is why she founded The  BOOKS@HOME Campaign, raising funds and gifting books to children who live in low income areas or who have special health needs. She facilitates workshops, supporting children & their schools, to organise their own Sleeping Storyteller READ-A-THON, empowering them to get excited about reading, inspiring them to improve their literacy skills and enabling them to pass forward kindness by gifting books to other children with the funds they raise.
