title: In the Indian Night Sky (Hathi Chiti's Tales of India)
author:  Reshma Sapre 
description: Ever wonder why people always welcome the sight of the moon in the night sky, while their feelings about the sun and windquite literallyblow hot and cold? This warm and whimsical re-visioning of a classic folk tale from India explains everything. (Christopher Cerf, Creator/Producer: Sesame Street)<br /><br />I love the playful precision of In the Indian Night Sky. I am also impressed with the printing: It s not easy to get clear, crisp edges on black pages. (Barry Moser, Children s book illustrator)
