 Great Stories for Pagan Kids January 18, 2002
22 out of 23 found this review helpful
My 8 year old daughter fell in love with this book when we visited the local Pagan bookstore, and was thrilled to get it as a Yule gift. She has sat every night, by herself, reading the stories and then talking to me about the Goddesses they describe, relating them to our family's own practices and beliefs. The illustrations are beautiful, and the stories well-written and aimed at kids 8-12 (my daughter has had to ask the meanings of some words, but not too many). It would make great bedtime stories for younger kids, too. :)

This beautiful book tells the folktales of ten Goddesses from different cultures around the world. The illustrations are truly lovely with colorful detailed costumes and borders on the pages filled with diverse flora from water lilies to hazel branches, to cherry blossoms. You will discover many different faces of the Goddess and young girls in particular will benefit from these positive role model examples. The stories are purely good yarns which have stood the test of time and when combined with the artistry of Helen Cann they sparkle! Invite Isis, Kuan Yin, Cerridwen, Freya, White Buffalo Woman, Oshun, Ama-terasu, Persephone, Demeter, and Hekate in when you enjoy this bountiful treasure of stories and add balance and beauty to your life.
