Notable Quotes
I just want the parent to enjoy reading it… and I want their child to smile." — Ron Kinscherf
"It started with an ant hill and a barbecue — I never expected to find a second career." — Ron Kinscherf
"Storytelling is creativity. Play-by-play was storytelling. Writing is storytelling. It's all connected." — Ron Kinscherf
In a world where digital noise dominates children's attention, children's storytelling sparks imagination and creates connections that are harder to come by. Many parents long for books that not only entertain but also open the door to deeper conversations and emotional bonding with their children.
Ron Kinscherf creates books that bridge generations. With humor, heart, and strong community themes, his stories are designed to make kids laugh — and make adults think. In this episode, Ron shares how a casual family dinner led to the birth of his second career as a children's storytelling, and why authentic storytelling may be one of the greatest tools we have for raising resilient, curious children.
Ron Kinscherf is a former IT consultant and Hall of Fame play-by-play announcer who unexpectedly found his next calling in children's storytelling. Author of 11 books (and counting), Ron draws inspiration from his grandchildren, his creative upbringing, and his lifelong love of storytelling. His works feature strong characters, intergenerational themes, and a commitment to portraying community values — all told through engaging, imaginative narratives.
In today's episode, James speaks with Ron Kinscherf, author of the *Papa, Tell Me a Book* series, about creativity in later life, how children's storytelling builds character, and the quiet wisdom that resides within community roots. Ron also shares the origin of his latest book, *Adorable*, and the unexpected family moment that changed the course of his life.
