Hera | Jennifer Saint
Mehso-so

Saint allows the reader to see Hera in a different light. There seemed to be too many events packed in, taking opportunities to better understand Hera away. Saint does a great job painting pictures of the settings and many of the events; I could really see, with great detail, what was happening. The audiobook was hit-or-miss. I also felt as though Fredrick was too monotoned and even paced in her delivery of the material, even the eventful parts.

D'Aulaires Book of Greek Myths | Ingri D'Aulaire, Edgar Parin D'Aulaire

This can be used in the classroom to introduce students to key myths and characters from Greek mythology through engaging read-aloud sessions. Teachers can also incorporate art projects or creative writing assignments based on the stories to encourage deeper understanding and personal connection to the material.

This is a beautifully illustrated introduction to Greek mythology for children. The engaging stories of gods, goddesses, and heroes are presented in a way that is both accessible and enjoyable. Vibrant illustrations enhance the narratives, drawing young readers into this magical world. This classic book is perfect for reading aloud or independent exploration.

Hera | Jennifer Saint

This book read like a pissed off roll call of Zeus‘ descendants (4 of whom descend from Hera, as well), but I enjoyed it. Years ago as a Math/CS major at a liberal arts college, ‘free‘ credits found the way to two particular instructors in the English Dept - one of whom was a master storyteller allowing me into her upper level mythology course - without doubt my favorite 3 credits in those 4 years. This book tested my memory in a great way.

I discovered this children book here on Litsy, as I never heard of it, so I went out and bought a used book and enjoyed it immensely.
Mythology is just so fascinating!
