My Review: Adorable illustrations, accompany 9 Stories from around the world. I went immediately to The Woman In The Moon, since it’s is an Hawaiian tale, and one of my grandsons, was born on Oahu. Ms. Dukakis voice is smooth and rich and soothing. Barefoot Books, will be on my list from now on, for quality childrens’ literature.
