OK, so it's been tough finding stories that I know for certain are public domain... Not sure about any of the ones below.

The golden flower: a Taino myth from Puerto Rico
Relates the story of how Puerto Rico became an island. In the beginning, the world had no water, no green plants or trees, and no flowers. But all of that changes when a young boy finds some seeds and plants them on top of the mountain. PRINT/BRAILLE. For grades K-3. BR 12021
There's another version of this tale called The Sillies, and it features 3 boys who fall asleep under a tree and wake up not knowing whose feet belong to who because their legs are all tangled up. A farmer comes by and tickles their feet.

This should be easy to adapt to a version of our own. This comes from Mexico.

Myths and folktales are a great way to introduce kids to a variety of cultures. Not only that, you can be sure that only good stories survive the test of being passed down generation after generation. Hispanic Heritage Month starts September 15, so now is a great time to introduce your kids to folktales from Latin America.

LATIN AMERICAN FOLKTALES: PICTURE BOOKS FOR KIDS

Most of these titles include a spattering of Spanish words and phrases ( a glossary is usually included) and several are either bilingual or have Spanish versions available. Although there are folktale anthologies available, I've chosen picture books for this collection since they are often more appropriate for younger kids. As always, I'd love to know if you've read and enjoyed any of the titles on this list and if you have any recommendations for further reading, your comments are very welcome!

{ Note: Book choices and opinions are entirely my own - and my kids'! I have included affiliate links should a title spark your interest.}
