Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED HOW THE STARS CAME TO BE? The Fisherman's Daughter loved to dance in the Sunlight, and bathe in the glow of the Moon, but when the moon would disappear for a few nights each month, she would worry about her father and how he would find his way home from sea in the deep darkness. When the sun finds her sobbing one night, he takes one of his rays and smashes it onto the ground, creating the stars and giving the girl the task of putting them into the dark night sky. This beautifully illustrated story gives us a new folk tale, and a new way to look up at the night sky.
"Have you ever wondered how the star came to be in the sky? When the moon disappears for a few nights each month, The Fisherman's Daughter worries about her father and how he will find his way home to her. When the Sun finds her crying, he offers her a way to ensure that there will always be light in the darkness."--
Ages 5+.
