In a special for Martin Luther King Jr. Day, StoryLand releases the old folktale, The Legend of the Big Dipper. The story about kindness imagines the origin of the constellation, which helped guide escaping slaves north to freedom.
MaryAnn Schmidt tells the Persian folktale, Fareedah's Carpet. The story is part of a collection of Tale Type 480; folk stories of compassion and greed.
In this special release for Halloween, MaryAnn tells the story of a whiny, brave little girl who is not afraid to face "The Ghost With One Black Eye."

About StoryLand
From the publisher's feed
MaryAnn Schmidt has enchanted children for years with folktales from around the world. It's difficult to freeze these stories in time because storytelling is a live art embodied by the synergy between…
the teller and the listener. Now, some of these experiences, recorded live in the classroom have been preserved and shared with children everywhere.
