The Birth of the Moon

(4) PS Translated by Sibylle Kazeroid. When the animals take the sun's gift of the moon for granted, the sun becomes angry and makes the moon disappear from the night sky. After accepting the animals' apology, the sun brings back the moon, making it wax and wane to keep the animals grateful. Though the artfully rendered torn-paper illustrations don't always match the slight text, their simplicity has lots of appeal.
