Super Great Kids' Stories · 2025-05-14

This story is a selection from: ‘The Best of Super Great Kids’ Stories.

We’re going to release one popular story from our archive - each month on a Wednesday in the middle of the month.

This episode was the first to be released on our podcast. It’s a ‘How and Why’ story retold by Tuup. He’s been telling this story for many years. He first read it in a book called: 'Whale in The Sky' by Anne Siberell' (Puffin 1991) and was inspired to work it into a version of his own.

There are many stories about powerful birds and big fish told across the American Pacific Northwest. Happy Listening!
