Little Listeners “Indonesian Children's Favorite Stories: Fables, Myths and Fairy Tales”

Hello Little Listeners,

Today’s book is: “Indonesian Children's Favorite Stories: Fables, Myths and Fairy Tales” - by Joan Suvenaaa and beautifully illustrated by Salim Martowirdedio.

8 magical stories in total - but today I just read the first story, 'True Strength.'

“Set in tropical rainforests, on balmy beaches, and in the remote highlands of the Indonesian islands, this multicultural children's book offers a taste of how universal values of bravery, cleverness, true love, kindness and loyalty are transmitted to Indonesian children. It makes a perfect new addition for story time or bedtime reading. Astute princesses, resourceful villagers and daring travellers appear throughout this vast archipelago to tell their stories and charm readers of all ages.”

Thanks and see you next time.
