This book is a retelling of the classic greek mythology story of persephone. It is a myth because it tells the story of the gods. It also tells why we have winter.

Persephone is a children's book retelling of the classic greek mythology story. Persephone is stolen by Hades to live in the underworld but her mom Demeter could not find Persephone and cast a curse on the Earth making it forever winter.
