Media Reviews
FATHER SUN, MOTHER MOON presents the oft-told tale of the mysterious stranger who comes to town and, in the process of turning everything upside down, teaches everyone a valuable lesson. It's nothing new, and even some of the 4- to 8-year-olds for whom the book is intended may have already seen variations on this theme. Yet the lively illustrations and the simple but eloquent writing infuse this story with the sort of charm that should engage not just wide-eyed, impressionable children but busy, jaded parents as well." -- Jose Padua
-- New York Times Book Review

Synopses
In a village where everything is painted white, a stranger agrees to paint the school in order to avoid bad luck, but instead teaches the villagers a valuable lesson.
Publisher's Notes
In a superstitious village where all things are painted white, the arrival of a stranger clad in bright, multicolored clothing brings a tide of bad luck. A black cloud appears, bringing with it a bolt of lightning that turns the school gray.
The odd stranger offers to paint the school. But, to the villagers' dismay, she merely sits atop the building and plays her flute as the sun rises and sets. The children, though, delight in her music and colorful stories. Then one night, when the moon is full and high, the stranger begins to paint. When at last the rooster crows, the villagers awake to a most unusual surprise.
