Storybook Plan

Story sources
  • The Sky: brief run down on constellations, mythology, galleries, links, news, and reference guides about all things astronomy
  • Constellation Legends: condensed guide of multiple constellations and their mythology in relation to greek mythology
  • Wikipedia: wealth of information on various constellations and legends other than Greek mythology

Stories I want to include (link here)
  • The Big and Little Bear
  • The Swan in the Sky
  • The Immortal Wolf 

Storytelling style

This will be a collection of stories for children and therefore the style of the book will reflect that. The language will be simplistic and dramatic. There will be lessons in each story that are positive. These lessons will not connect, nor will the stories directly connect with one another. With that said, all stories will explain constellations in the sky. Some stories will have more of an emphasis on Greek mythology while some will have an emphasis on Native American legend. 

Main ideas
  • Constellations 
  • Greek and Roman Mythology
  • Dramatic tellings of how the stars came to be
