Singing to the Sun: A Fairy Tale

40 pp. | Kane/Miller | September, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-1-933605-94-4 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jackie Morris. This captivating story includes some traditional fairy-tale elements: greedy parents, a noble young man searching for a bride, a wise cat, a jester advisor. The tale grows richer with its twist ending, as the princess chosen by the young man instead selects another husband for herself. Painterly illustrations depict a setting spanning different cultures and incorporating magic and realism.
