"Back when the world was young, it was noisy. Very noisy. Forest and fields everywhere throbbed with the loud sounds of animals -- hoots and roars, screeches and yowls. ...But of all the noisy creatures in the land, the butterflies made the loudest, most annoying sounds. Day after day, as the tedious drab butterflies flew from flower to flower, they boasted and argued among themselves -- loudly." What happens to the noisy butterflies so they become the silent beatiful creatures that flit among the flowers today? A wild storm stuns the butterflies into silence and for the very first time they look beyond themselves at the beauty of the world. The very noisy animals in the country between the Mountains of the Mist and the Singular Sea are beautifully evoked by Rob Roth's illustrations. With vibrant yet delicate watercolors he manages to give the sense of an elephant's bulk, a wildebeast's energy.

Mi Fei is a humble painter of scrolls. Between each day's sunrise and sunset, he paints scenes of the gods and their festivals' portraits of heroes and their deeds. Although the scrolls bring him fame, Mi Fei is content to live in his village, surrounded by people he loves. But one day a messenger enters the village with terrible news: the dragon Sui Jen has awakened from its hundred years' sleep and is destroying everything in its path. Someone must find a way to return Sui Jen to its slumber. To the villagers, only one among them is wise enough to confront the scaly beast -- Mi Fei. The power of the artist's vision and the ever-sustaining nature of love are brought together in Marguerite W. Davol's beautiful story, strikingly interpreted by Robert Sabuda in a series of gatefold illustrations that convey the storytelling majesty of the Chinese narrative scrollmaker's art.

A highly-acclaimed author and illustrator join forces to bring readers this original folktale, which explains how stories began to be told.In this folktale, Beno and his sister Allita live in a time before there were stories. One day, they meet a snake who promises to tell them stories in exchange for the berries they've picked. He tells them how the stars once were bees, and what makes a rose smell sweet; he tells stories about what makes the sky blue, and why frogs croak. The children tell their parents about stories, and about the snake's tales. Like a snake that sheds its skin, this family's life comes alive with color as they learn the value of storytelling.
