Shirley Climo's love of folklore began in her childhood and has
provided the background for many of her children's books, such as
The Korean Cinderella, Magic & Mischief: Tales from Cornwall, A
Treasury of Princesses: Princess Tales from Around the World, A
Treasury of Mermaids: Mermaid Tales from Around the World, and
Someone Saw a Spider: Spider Facts and Folktales, an NCTE Teacher's
Choice and Library of Congress Best Children's Book that was
originally inspired by her research for Cobweb Christmas. Mrs.
Climo and her husband live in Los Altos, California.
Shirley Climo is the author of many children's books including The
Egyptian Cinderella and King of the Birds, both illustrated by Ruth
Heller, and T.J.'s Ghost. She lives in Los Altos, CA. Ruth Heller
travelled to Korea to do the research for this book. She is the
author-illustrator of Up, Up and Away, among many other books for
children, and lives in San Francisco, CA.
In mellifluous prose and majestic illustrations, these collaborators present an inventive twist on the classic tale. Ages 4-8. (Feb.)
