“The water very soon overflowed the top of then roof, and the sun and the moon were forced to go up into the sky, where they have remained ever since.“

This story is a classic African folktale. It is a folktale because it explains why something has happened. It is also a story that was passed down through generations. It has traditional African drawings and came from Nigeria.

The sun must build a large home for water and his friends to come and hang out. The sun and his wife moon built a house for water and his friends but the water kept getting deeper and more friends kept coming. Soon the sun and the moon had to move to the roof. the water kept getting higher so eventually they had to move to the sky and have lived there ever since.

So I'm on Bluesky! Find me there if you wanna chat more queer books and occasionally other stuff too 😊 🏳️‍🌈 📖

Beautiful illustrations with only a few words. This book seems to be a nod to Alice in Wonderland. Oddly, I've never read that. When I look at this book, I wonder what I've missed. For example, I love the little girl's dress, which is from the pages of AinW. What else would I find if I knew more?
