I have a personal project that I'm working on now, a children's book inspired by a Filipino myth about Arao at Buan (Sun and Moon). Doesn't look like anyone will be interested in publishing it anytime soon but I'm challenging myself to finish the book anyway, and maybe self publish or something.

The sun god Arao and the moon goddess Buan both had large families of stars,

but Buan believed her stars could not survive the heat of Arao.

They both agreed to destroy their stars.

While Arao devoured his, Buan hid hers in the clouds,

where they would occasionally emerge.

Upon seeing this, Arao was filled with rage
and is eternally in pursuit of the Buan, trying to destroy her.

Eclipses are explained by Arao getting close enough to bite her.

At dawn, Buan hides the stars and brings them forth

only when her eldest daughter, Tala (the evening and morning star)

says the sun is too far away to pursue them.
