Overview: The son of the sun wants to marry the daughter of the moon. But the moon does not want her daughter to marry him. The sun gets very angry so the moon hides her daughter and she grows up and falls in love with someone else. The sun finds out about the relationship and goes after the daughter. The story sadly ends...
Activity: This would be a good book to read when talking about old folktales. The characters are simply symbolic and mythical and may help children to use imagination and think of the moon and sun as people. The story could be used for a simple class discussion of old stories/cultural and what kinds of stories and how they were made up a long time ago.
