Little Sister and the Month Brothers

Little Sister is very busy doing all the work around the house and the yard.

But she doesn’t mind: she sings and hums, and she grows prettier and prettier

as she does her chores. Her wicked stepmother and stepsister can’t stand the

fact that Little Sister is so happy. One day, they tell Little Sister to bring

home violets in the middle of winter—or not to come home at all! How Little

Sister gets help from the Month Brothers in the forest offers a delightful

twist on this Slavic version of Cinderella.

A retelling of the Slavic folktale in which the Month Brothers' magic helps

Little Sister fulfill seemingly impossible tasks which prove the undoing of

her greedy stepmother and stepsister.
