The Sun Girl and the Moon Boy written and illustrated by Yangsook Cho (1997)
A Little Red Riding Hood-esque story with a twist. This story tells the tale of a mother who leaves her son and daughter at home while out to market. On the way a tiger tricks her into taking her clothes and then the tiger attempts to trick the children and access the house, however a rope comes down from the sky to lift the children up from the tree where the tiger has chased them. Their mother waits high in the heavens; she changes into the stars, her daughter becomes the sun, and her son, the moon.
