What is How the Stars Came to Be about?
In a time when only the sun and moon illuminate the sky, a fisherman's daughter delights in their light. However, during the moon's absence, she worries about her father's safe return from the dark sea. Seeing her distress, the sun shatters a ray of light, creating stars, and entrusts her to place them in the night sky to guide her father home.
