When a fierce quarrel shatters her marriage to the Sun, the Moon must flee.
But her vengeful husband isn’t the only threat—she must also escape her colossal child from the deep. Tambanokano, a massive underwater crab, rises to swallow the Moon and plunge the world into darkness. Who will save the light of the night from vanishing into nothingness?
Sun, Moon and the Giant Crab brings a vivid Mandaya creation story from Mindanao, Philippines, to life. Crafted with a rhythmic read-aloud flow and breathtaking visuals, this timeless Indigenous tale celebrates light, nature, and a community’s fierce devotion to protecting what they hold dear.
Perfect for parents, educators and librarians seeking multicultural folklore and Indigenous world literature.
