Grade Level: 3 - 6

Readers who will like this book: Anyone interested in cultures other than their own, or stories of the origins of things.

Rating/Response: 4 out of 4. The illustrations are bright, vivid and authentic, representing the culture well. It is a beautiful story of the origin of a very important ceremony.

One question I would ask before a read aloud: Are stories from other cultures just as important as those of your culture? Do stories tell us anything important about other cultures?
