Come and be animated by the power of storytelling as international and local storytellers will converge at Penang International Kids Storytelling Festival at Straits Quay this November to tell stories.

This remarkable opportunity would provide for a cultural exchange platform and strengthen education as well as preserve and renew the world's fading cultures of storytelling.

The storytelling will be mainly in English, with some storytellers telling in Bahasa Malaysia, Mandarin, Tamil and other languages as well.

On top of that, this festival attempts to break the Malaysia Book of Records for 10 hours non-stop Nursery Rhymes and PoetryRecitation by children aged between 4 and 12 years old. And packed with many more fun and entertaining activities.
