One of the Chicago Public Library's Favorite Books of 2025 Liz Gotauco is quirky, lively, and talented. Ive heard many storytellers try hard to revive the oral tradition only to strike out, but Liz knocks it out of the park. Liz Gotauco is a connoisseur of international folklore and fairy tales and brings her own gleefully funny and explicit take in their telling. The book is a delight, and wonderfully informative as well. Jade Gotaucos illustrations provide the perfect vibe. But beware: these are not your Mamas bedtime stories. Hilarious and original yet completely timeless takes on tales told all around the world for centuries, this book is putting all the lore into one gLOREious place! I love it!
