These stories of adventure, courage, struggle, and good versus evil give children the opportunity to explore different models for a way of life by showing not telling. In learning about these legends children also come to appreciate the values of their heritage and the cultural importance of diverse tales from around the world. As ever, illustration is inextricably linked to these texts and whether the artwork is classic, or a reimagining, it is instrumental in bringing these tales to life. Without further ado, we welcome you to enjoy the interpretations of our artists! N E W J U L Y S I G N I N G S !
