Good morning, Rita, Tropical Secrets is probably more on target with Jewish content for adult readers, but I wanted to share a Cuban folktale which I discovered while researching for a forthcoming Caribbean Story Finder. There are many Sephardic roots buried in the Latin American tales, but I was astonished by how much the many versions of The Rooster Who Went to His Uncle's Wedding resemble Had Gadya. The rooster's beak has gotten dirty when he can't resist eating a kernel of corn in the mud on route to his uncle's wedding and he tries to get the grass to clean it and then the sheep to eat the grass when it refuses and then the stick to beat the goat, etc. Warmly, Sharon Elswit The Jewish Story Finder The Latin American Story Finder The East Asian Story Finder P.S. Please contact me off-list if you are interested in sources for the rooster story or a Cuban romantic tale about two children who are betrothed at birth.
