A world of folktale and fun, connecting stories to the stars we can see in the sky
This is a beautiful book that takes you into a world of folktale and fun, connecting stories to the stars we can see in the sky today. Many of us are familiar with the constellations but sharing the stories of how other cultures see the stars just adds so much more to that knowledge.
