Opis

The author believes all children know everything worth knowing from birth. We adults only need to continue talking to them to keep the flame of their knowledge alive. She believes in them as she does in gods; they are teaching us, loving us, believing in us, forgiving us and suffering for us.

Sky stories grew from her desire to talk to an imaginary child about as many values and aspects of life as possible in a book. Sky Stories is a collection of six stories, which although having no obvious connection do together make up a whole. The trees received the stories from sky and at night told them to the birds.

Dress and Roses - The successful dress with printed roses faces her first real challenge - real roses. Blue Cats New Year - The robin is caught by the blue cat and makes promises to stay alive. Now is the time to keep promises. Shopkeeper's Son - The lazy shopkeeper's son sleeps all the time. One kind old woman teaches him a tough lesson. The Angel of Death - The last wish before death does it make any sense? The Swan from Snake Notch - If you become a snake from a swan, should you inform everyone? Or do they know anyway? The Duck and the Carrot - In a courtyard lived a duck and a carrot. Nothing else lived there; is there any possible friendship between them?
