Action Scenes Beat Narrative | Classic Storytelling with Marsha Shandur #1

What makes a story actually land? Oddly, it’s not the big dramatic moments - it’s the really small ones.

Marsha Shandur, of Yes Yes Marsha - our expert on persuasive storytelling - is back to discuss what a picture-book about a little girl missing her mum gets oh so right.

We dig into why action scenes beat narrative every time + why business storytellers skip the thing that makes people actually care. Plus why story short cuts deep connection + why that's so powerful.

Look for more Classics episodes - where we use kids books to answer the business questions nobody's asking.

Books discussed in this episode:

Mama and Mommy and Me in the Middle - Nina Lacour (our featured book)

Mommy, Mama, and Me - Lesléa Newman (not our focus for today)

The Very Hungry Caterpillar - Eric Carle

Little Gorilla - Ruth Bornstein

The Memoir Project - Marion Roach Smith

How to Lose Everything - Krista Couture
