The author believes all children know everything worth knowing from
birth. We adults only need to continue talking to them to keep the
flame of their knowledge alive. She believes in them as she does in
gods; they are teaching us, loving us, believing in us, forgiving
us and suffering for us.
Sky stories grew from her desire to talk to an imaginary child
about as many values and aspects of life as possible in a book. Sky
Stories is a collection of six stories, which although having no
obvious connection do together make up a whole. The trees received
the stories from sky and at night told them to the birds.
Dress and Roses - The successful dress with printed roses faces
her first real challenge - real roses. Blue Cats New Year - The
robin is caught by the blue cat and makes promises to stay alive.
Now is the time to keep promises. Shopkeeper's Son - The lazy
shopkeeper's son sleeps all the time. One kind old woman teaches
him a tough lesson. The Angel of Death - The last wish before death
does it make any sense? The Swan from Snake Notch - If you become a
snake from a swan, should you inform everyone? Or do they know
anyway? The Duck and the Carrot - In a courtyard lived a duck and a
carrot. Nothing else lived there; is there any possible friendship
between them?
