Book Description
Hmong Children Folk Tales I is a collection of folk stories of the Hmong people. This book is the first of two books consisting of 10 stories each with over 60 illustrations. Written by Yakao Yang, this book is told through the eyes and ears of a true Hmong storyteller. The purpose of this book is to preserve these memorable tales, which were only in oral forms past down from generations, for future generations of Hmong and non-Hmong readers. Hmong Children Folk Tales I are not typical folk tales. Each story is amazingly creative; plot twists, magical creatures that can talk, and beings that are half human and half animal. This book touches on some of the beliefs and traditions of the Hmong people. Although these stories are old and have been told from generation to generation the unpredictable quality of the stories will be a refreshing new change for any reader.
