This was an awesome book to read. It was quite enjoyable. I loved the narrators; they helped bring out the stories even more. I loved that they used both adult and children's narrators. One of the narrators sounded as if he was a narrator for Disney movies. He was so good that the book felt like you were in a theater watching a movie. This book can hold its own in a print version as well because the stories are so good, and I would love to see the illustrations. Kids will absolutely love this book.

I had so many favorite stories from the retelling of Little Red Robin-hood to the retelling of African and African American folktales which I had heard for the first time, and they were great stories, every bit as good as the traditional fairytales.

I think these stories are a great way to introduce kids to new concepts and stories. I also like that there are lessons to be leaned throughout these stories. I love when there are teachable moments that teach kids values like sharing and being kind instead of stories that are just about superficiality.

I would definitely recommend this book and would love to see it in school libraries. It offers so much! .

❤ This is the second book in the series of these beautiful created portraits but in a collection of children stories created by the Mr. & Mrs. of this #HotLanta photo studio. The stories were reimagined and recreated with the flavor of the Black Diaspora. The folklore, culture and adornments were uniquely cultural and I could not get enough of this story telling delivered by some very talented voice artists. I seen the book version and the characters were depicted perfectly in these portraits. The wind chimes, African Drums, Steel Pans in the back drop of the narration will make this a keepsake for generations to come. So Well Done! ❤
