Book Cover & Preview Text
Blue Heron spoke softly as only a little bird in flight could, "Please don't yell. I'll tell you why: it doesn't really matter; it's all the same sky." They saw the fear in their daughter's eyes. "Our dearest Blue Heron, it's not about you. We are sorry for all who live in and under the sky." Sun and Moon realized that they must part. This is when Sun came to live in the Day and slept in the Night, and Moon came to live in the Night and slept in the Day.
