"Delightfully unique, Ambra’s background of experience gives her an uncanny ability for improvising stories with audiences of all ages."

Dr. Coston Frederick  

"The Caldwell Public Library extends thanks to Ambra Allgood for her outstanding performances during our summer reading program. Ambra told stories for two different groups: summer school kids and the general public.   The summer school kids particularly loved the El Dia de Muertos story, while several mothers, who attended the performance for the general public, said that their kids were mesmorized.  To involve digital age children to this level is an extraordinary feat. We'd recommend Ambra to any group who'd like to partake in the oral tradition of storytelling."
