Why the Sun and the Moon Live in the Sky: A Caldecott Honor Award Winner

Childhood favorite of mine and my 5 year old loves this story too. The colors are gorgeous, the writing is superb. It's an easy, fun book to introduce origin stories to kids.

Love this cool, silly book!

One of my favorite books as a child. The children I have read it too love it as well!

My grandkids love this book!! It is a delightful little tale, and they request it often. I will keep it on my list of gifts for other children. Makes a great gift.

This a fun fable and this book flows well, and children love reading this book . its a household favorite I'm sure everyone will love it,

This was an adventure which took a different turn with the kids. The questions they asked!

Love the stories from other lands for the kids..

Great book.

bought this book as part of a topic on weather and a multi cultural element too! children in the Nursery enjoyed it

This classic folktale from the Igbo of Nigeria explains how the sun and the moon came to be in the sky. The simply words and repetition make it a wonderful book for early readers. The illustrations make an attempt to portray the carved masks and costumes used in some traditional West African dance. This book was perhaps the inspiration for the animated movie that toured some planetariums in Japan in 2010. A lovely story for multi-cultural education, picture book study, or for environmental messages, this book has been adored by generations of readers.
