Product Details
|
This enchanting collection of folk tales and creation myths from different cultures encourages readers to live a more harmonious life with nature.
A story from Aboriginal Australia describes how the Sun Mother created each part of the Earth from grass to trees to animals to human beings, instructing the first people to look after the land for your children.
A Nigerian tale illustrates how one woman's greed and carelessness concerning natural resources led to her disgrace.
Five other selections warn readers of selfishness, exemplify nature's balance, and praise individuals who have given of themselves nobly in order to protect the environment. Well chosen and crafted with broad appeal, the tales are woven with subtle morals and wisdom.
Ages 7+.
Each story is introduced by a brief overview about the featured locale and culture (source notes are appended) and followed by a related, easy-to-replicate activity or craft. Full-page and spot illustrations and colorful decorative borders reflect the spirit and origins of each offering. Done with collaged papers with acrylic and printed backgrounds, the stylized images depict colorfully clothed people, delightful animals, and delicately rendered flora.
–C. J. Connor, Campbell County Public Library, Cold Spring, KY
