The Birthday of
The World
Narrated by Christina Moore
Written by Ursula K. Le Guin

Ze is a god's daughter. She has been told all her life that the sun rises only because her family dances it into the sky. Then her brother grabs for the throne, and strangers arrive who make her family's divinity look like a lie. Now she has to choose between the world she was born to rule and the truth that could end it. Ze's divine family holds the world together, but if the gods are only human, she has to decide who she is without the crown. Is a world still yours once you know it was built on a myth? Her answer could end her world and begin another.
