Leia's Adventures The Ring of Change
by Pam Crawford (Author), Joe Baranowski (Illustrator)
Every year Leia, along with her family and villagers, climb to the top of the volcano on the night of the winter solstice. They take gifts to the VOLCANO KING, who rules the sun. If the VOLCANO KING is pleased with the gifts, he will allow the sun to shine more each day until the middle of summer.
