Harvey Heilbrun recently retired after having taught grades 4-6 in the

School District for 33 years. Spurred on by his performance in the Middle School play, "Hans Christian Andersen" in 1981,
Harvey became a professional singer/storyteller. He has performed in schools and libraries in

Harvey gathers his stories from a number of different sources, mainly folktale collections, picture books and tales that he’s heard from other tellers. He gets pleasure in telling Jack tales and folktales that usually have a twist. He enjoys the songs of Tom Chapin, Sally Rogers and Woody Guthrie.
