Step into the enchanting world of a timeless African folktale with “Why the Sun and Moon Live in the Sky,” a captivating PowerPoint presentation! This delightful resource is perfect for young readers, educators, and storytelling enthusiasts.

Begin by meeting our radiant friends, The Sun and The Moon, who once lived on Earth, and their powerful friend, The Big, Flowing Water.

Follow the charming narrative of this classic story:

The Sun and Moon invite Water to their beautiful new home for a visit.
Water’s polite hesitation, explaining, “I’m too big!” for their house.
The Sun and Moon’s generous response, “We’ll build a bigger one!”, expanding their home to accommodate Water.
The gentle entrance of Here Comes the Water!, filling the compound with his many people.
The Sun and Moon’s repeated invitations for “More and More!” of Water’s people to join.
The water levels rising higher and higher, forcing the Sun and Moon to climb to their furniture, then the roof, until there is Nowhere to Go! on Earth.
The Sun and Moon are lifted gently up into the great expanse above, finding their new home in the sky.
This engaging resource includes interactive sections for “Sequencing Fun!” and visualizing “The Rising Water!” to reinforce comprehension and engagement. It concludes by revealing “Now You Know the Story!” of how the Sun and Moon came to live in the sky, forever looking down on their old friend, the Water. This is an ideal resource for early literacy, storytelling, fairy tales, character analysis, and moral lessons for children about friendship, generosity, and hospitality.
