This Pipilo tale is called, "Luna and the Mango Tree." It comes from a Pipilo Tales series called "Luna & Soli" about a family who live in the dry tropical rainforests of South America. In this tale, Luna, the youngest member of the family, enjoys the slow pace of mornings with Mamá, singing songs and going on walks. When Mamá has work to do, Luna is challenged with feelings of frustration. How will she find peace with a frustrated heart?

This episode also has a beautiful song about finding a moment of peace in something as simple as a tree swing. It is called "The Pine Tree Swing" and is a German folk song adapted into English. 

This tale and the rendition of "The Pine Tree Swing" are created and performed by Leah Ray Mendez.
