The next book of stories from the creator of the bestselling tarot deck, "Tarot of the Divine," and Beneath the Moon: Fairytales, Myths, and Divine Stories from Around the World.
Around the Sun is a storybook comprised of twelve illustrated folktales from all around the world and across time, each featuring a Hero, a Challenge, an Advisor, and a Desire. The stories unfold over several spreads, with beautiful illustrations running throughout to set the stage of an immersive reading experience. For an additional layer of depth, background information on iconic recurring symbols, objects, and mythical tokens--such as the mirror, the sword, or the fruit--will be interspered throughout.
Around the Sun explores foundational themes of conquering evil, overcoming adversity, and finding love and companionship. There is the story of Ishtar, the Sumerian goddess of war and desire who sought to extend her earthly power to the underworld; the Cochiti legend from New Mexico about a weaver caring for her elderly parents, and the coyote who wins her affection is told; the Indonesian tale from East Java about three divine brothers and their powerful sister; and more.
Yoshi Yoshitani's art style is dynamic and vibrant, featuring diverse and multicultural characters. Readers will be transported by Around the Sun's lush artistic details and gripping mythologies.
