This week I'm bringing you a story from the Maori in New Zealand! 'A Costume for Rangi' is a tale all about how the earth and the night sky as we see it were created. It is the perfect story to follow Earth Day.

The retelling of this story is written by from the book 'The Celestreal River: Creatioin Tales of the Milky Way' by Andrea Stenn Stryer.
