Elephant Prince: The Story of Ganesh

32 pp. | Mandala | December, 2004 | Trade ISBN 1-932771-16-6 $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Belgin K. Wedman. This is a sumptuous retelling of one of the stories about the benevolent Hindu god. Choosing one of the less familiar versions about how Ganesh came to have an elephant's head, the author documents her source from an ancient text. The story within a story of a mother's great love for her son is accompanied by paintings done in the style of Indian miniatures and enhanced with gold leaf.
