"A gorgeous heart-warming book full of stories that children (and people any age!) can relate to. . . .What steals my heart about this book is that it unflinchingly addresses the turmoil and realities of life in the 21st century. The author does not shy away from tackling themes such as deforestation, war or corporate greed. . . . Many stories end with a Q&A section where the storyteller can ask questions to test if the children have understood the storyline correctly. There is also a Myths from the Land of You section where children are encouraged to connect the story to their own lives and experiences. This book is that rare thing: it unlocks emotions, ideas and a wild surge of creativity." --Imelda Almqvist, author, Natural Born Shamans
