Special location: Olympic Unitarian Universalist Fellowship

Tobey will tell “Achi Kochi” or “Here and There Stories from around the World.” The stories tell of the power of the element of water to meeting fish with a personality. One story deals with getting into a “sticky” situation.

Tobey Anderson

Tobey hails from Olympia, and has told stories for us several times. She is one of the most animated and enthusiastic story tellers you will ever have the pleasure of listening to! “Be careful of what you say. That one has big ears!” Her aunties would say. Tobey Ishii-Anderson is an avid listener to stories. Her grandmother would start the stories with “Mukashi mukashi… Once upon a time” and Tobey has been held captive with the world of stories ever since. She loves the folktales from Japan retold at family gatherings. From listener to being the teller of stories, she has carried on this family tradition. As a Peace Corps volunteer and then an international school teacher she has lived in various countries in Asia and Europe. Tobey has had the good fortune to gather stories from many diverse cultures. She is a member of the Asian American Storytellers in Action and the South Sound Story Guild.
