Storyteller Rosa Metoyer performs her “Butter Bean Tales” Thursday at the Concordia Parish Library’s Ferriday branch. Metoyer has been an active storyteller for 20 years, performing various stories from children’s folk tales, fairy tales, Bible stories, African-American, African and personal stories for festivals and events.

Ryn Porter holds her braids to the sides of her head while she listens to Metoyer portray the “Butter Bean Tales” version of Little Red Ridding Hood.
