I Read Stories: When Death Came To The Village by Tina Jackson

When Death Came To The Village by Tina Jackson in Crow And Cross Keys

Death comes to the village and the forest knows. So the forest sends messengers. To Tincuta, who sings. To Tinka, her mother, who grows cooking pots. And to Tea, her mother, who sometimes burns things that make people unhappy. If you ask nicely.

No one can defeat Death. But together, perhaps, they might find a way to make Death less terrible.
