Good story and autobiography

Everything was excellent and learned a lot of new information and learned a lot about the author

The notes by the author gives great perspective.

I don't have children, but I enjoyed the expenation and insight in the last chapter. I never considered how a male centered culture impacts the perceptions of children. I think the fable's are well adapted to today, as an update to very old wisdom. I admit, I enjoyed the author's notes, as the presented info i didn't know. very cool idea. Thank you for sharing you're knowledge.

Fables

I loved hearing the traditional fables with a new concept. Teaching children about all at a very young age is a wonderful thing to do. Bravo Natalie.

"Respect for all creatures"

Must read!
The best of it is the afterword and I am so glad Natalie wrote it!

Loved the stories

So good to listen to the older stories with a little revision. Natalie Portman has a lovely voice. Would love to hear it spoken slower for the young ones, but it was refreshing to hear. Thank you for the stories.
