“Be careful of what you say. That one has big ears!” Her aunties would say. Tobey Ishii-Anderson was an avid listener to stories about life in the internment camps during WWII. 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 loved 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 as an international school teacher she has lived in various countries from Asia and Europe. Considered a “Third Culture Kid,” Tobey has had the good fortune to gather stories from many diverse cultures. She is a member of the Asian American Storytellers in Action as well as the South Sound Story Guild.
