In captivating text and illustrations, this beautiful multicultural
children's book presents a collection of cherished fables, myths,
legends and fairy tales from Thailand that have been passed down
through generations of Thai families. The nine charming stories in
this book feature clever princesses, warring gods and goddesses,
foolish kings, and wily tigers, against a backdrop of traditional
Thai village life. They deal with the universal values that parents
everywhere want to teach their children, such as good versus evil,
right versus wrong, and wisdom versus foolishness. Stories include
"How The Thais Learned to Be Calm," when a small village argument
escalates into a terrible war; "Princess Golden Flower and the
Vulture King," in which a brave princess saves herself from an evil
king; and "The Gold Harvest" in which a wise father-in-law tricks
his lazy son-in-law into working hard for his family. Curated and
narrated by Marion D. Toth and illustrated by Thai artist Patcharee
Meesukhon, this collection will provide children with an insight
into the traditional Thai culture, and the values and lifestyle of
its people. This book will be enjoyed by children ages six to ten,
as well as by their parents. Other Thai stories in this book
include: How the Bay of Bangkok Came to Be Why Do We Have Thunder
and Lightning? The Wisest Man in Siam There is No Such Thing As a
Secret How the Tiger Got its Stripes The Footprint of the Buddha
