How the Birds Got Their Colors & the Kaha Bird: Two Bird Tales

Meer over het boek

Legends, myths, and folklore have featured birds for ages. Because birds fly, in many cultures, birds are associated with the gods or with heaven, if they aren't gods themselves. This book has two of these ancient tales retold in poetic form with fun, colorful illustrations. "The Kaha Bird" is a retelling of an old Tajik tale told in limericks. "How the Birds Got Their Colors" is a retelling of an Australian Aboriginal myth that explains why all of the birds have colors except one.
