Other editions of book Why the Sun & Moon Live in the Sky

There was once a time when Sun and Moon lived on the earth--but that was before the rapturous Sun invited the never-ending Sea to visit in this playful version of an eastern Nigerian (Ibibio) creation myth. "This delightful story is outfitted in humor, a mock seriousness, and drama....A wondrous and alluring work."--Kirkus Reviews.

An eastern Nigerian myth is interwoven with artistic images from the Renaissance, in the story of how the Sun and Moon lived on the earth, until the Sun invited the never-ending Sea to visit.
