Description
A centuries-long line of female story keepers in Shonaleigh’s family lovingly passed thousands of intricately interconnected story cycles through generations, from grandmother to granddaughter, in the Yiddish oral tradition of the Drut’syla.
A Garment for the Moon is Shonaleigh’s first-ever written collection of a select few of her bubba’s tales, which includes eighteen of her favorite stories. Twelve of these are beautifully illustrated by artist Katherine Soutar. These are fabulous wonder tales with names like: The Clever Girl, Avram and the Fireflies, The CloudSheep, The Worms’ Complaint, The Dandelion Dancer, Prince Cockerel and Ashmedai’s Melting Bride.
The wisdom tales in A Garment for the Moon feature strong and clever characters. Shonaleigh has chosen this collection especially to strengthen and inspire young readers. The stories show how to be practical and strong, that it is good to be alive and that we must never forget how to dream. People of all ages will fall under their spell.
