Hello and welcome to Super Great Kids Stories.
Wise tales from storytellers around the world which will make you laugh and sometimes
recommended for ages 5 to 105. I'm Kim and I love stories.
This week we have a story told by Gail Ross from the Cherokee Nation.
Her beautiful storytelling comes from her rich Native American heritage and from her grandmother who was a storyteller.
It's called Why Thunder is a Friend to the Cherokees.
A little warning, it's quite scary.
It has a frightening snake in it and young boys who hunt and kill animals.
It's all so beautifully told, so if you're feeling brave, hold the hand of a grown-up and have a listen.
If scary stories are not for you, then maybe try listening to one of our many Anansi stories,
like Toops Anansi and the Hot Pepper Soup.
How are you this week, Super Great Kids?
I'm happy because I've been doing lots of cycling.
I cycled down the River Thames to London this week.
I saw lots of children playing with their families.
Children are so good at playing and grown-ups sometimes get so busy that they forget to play.
So perhaps you could ask your grown-ups if they'd like to join in your games.
I've also been enjoying dancing around to Rafi songs with my granddaughter Dorothy.
Dancing and being daft makes me very happy.
If you don't know Rafi, he's an Egyptian-born Canadian children's singer-songwriter and musician.
