Surf War!: A Folktale from the Marshall Islands by Margaret Read MacDonald

4.0

Surf War! is a folktale from the Marshall Islands. I love folktales since they always include a good lesson. This story has lessons about sharing and ecology.

I read this to a group of younger children aged 3-5. The bright, bold pictures were an instant hit. As Sandpiper and Whale began to argue about who the sea belonged to, many of the children were able to draw parallels from their own lives. I liked that the story not only focused on sharing, but included environmental implications.
