Each book covers a character from mythology and brings the tale to life through illustrations and story-telling, with inspiration from ancient art and literature. The books are aimed at 4 to 10 year olds, are beautifully designed and easy to read. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersephone is the daughter of the goddess of nature who grows up in the forests of Greece only to be whisked away by Hades, the love-struck god of the Underworld. Persephone's mother, Demeter, roams across the lands in search of her daughter and a solution must be found. Should Persephone return to her old life or can there be a balance between her role as goddess of nature above and her new responsibilities below? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor teachers and parents, we have a notes section at the back, describing how our illustrations have been inspired by ancient Greek vase-painting, sculptures, and early literature. The kids don't need to know this aspect to enjoy the tale, but the grown-ups can learn about how we have taken time and care to construct our book, using the early historical sources, rather than simply repeat a generic version of the myth. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAwards for our Early Myths collection: \u003cbr\u003e- Perseus: bronze medal winner at the Moonbeam Children's Book Awards 2014\u003cbr\u003e- Odysseus: honourable mention at the Royal Dragonfly Book Awards 2015\u003cbr\u003e- Odysseus: finalist in the Wishing Shelf Book Awards 2015\u003cbr\u003e- Atalanta: silver medal at the Moonbeam Children's Book Awards 2016\u003cbr\u003e- Atalanta: honourable mention at Purple Dragonfly Book Awards 2016\u003cbr\u003e- Atalanta: finalist at the Readers' Favorite Awards 2016\u003cbr\u003e- Herakles: 1st prize for illustrations and 6+ picture book at the Dragonfly Books Awards 2017\u003cbr\u003e- Herakles: gold award at the Royal Dragonfly Book Awards 2017\u003cbr\u003e- Herakles: silver medalist in the Wishing Shelf Children's Books Awards 2017\u003cbr\u003e- Theseus: best illustrations at Purple Dragonfly Book Awards 2018\u003cbr\u003e- Theseus: honourable Mention in Picture Books (5 and younger category) at the Purple Dragonfly Book Awards 2018\u003cbr\u003e- Theseus: silver medalist at the Moonbeam Children's Book Awards 2018\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.09 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 14, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52649469411635,"sku":"9781723980817","price":23.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/b09vWG9obERsNXhNa2NZbHdNbmUydz09.webp?v=1762477199","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/persephone-book-7-early-myths-kids-books-on-greek-myth-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
