About this listen

How the Stars Came to Be is a whimsical tale that follows the journey of a curious and brave young Native American girl, Kaya. In a world where the night sky is an empty canvas, Kaya, with her question about the absence of stars, sets forth an ancient prophecy that leads her on a magical quest.

Guided by the Great Spirit and aided by forest creatures and spirits, Kaya faces various challenges to seek the Star Seed, a mystical entity said to create stars. Her journey is marked by courage, determination, and a sense of wonder that is beautifully echoed in the narrative.

Upon reaching the highest mountain, Kaya discovers the Star Seed, which explodes into thousands of fragments that transform into stars, painting the once dark sky with glittering lights. As Kaya returns to her village, she is celebrated as the bringer of stars. Her story is told for generations, encouraging children to believe in their potential to achieve great things, just like Kaya did.

The book is a delightful exploration of courage, curiosity, and the power of a question to change the world.
