I love folktales–the vibrant story and lesson all wrapped up on one. Well, this folktale is sure to engage young readers and share a little piece of a South American tradition.
Can we climb to the moon? Lazo a la Luna/Moon Rope is a Peruvian folktale that answers that question. This bilingual text follows Fox and Mole as they try to climb a grass rope to the moon. Do they make it? Sorry, no spoiler here. You’ll have to read to find out and discover the moral of the story. Don’t worry. You won’t be disappointed. The cut-out illustrations in deep, rich colors are vibrant and sure to capture your child’s attention.
Happy Reading!
