This is a long shot but I wonder if anyone can help with the name or author of a children's story?
It's from a long time ago and the story is about a girl who has long dark hair. She covers the land with it (her hair) causing nighttime to fall. I don't recall how it ends. 🤔
If anyone has an idea of which story this is, or which it might possibly be, I'd really appreciate knowing.
Thank you all and boosts would really be appreciated 🤗

@grb090423 err.... this kinda sounds like the myth of goddess Ratri (the literal personification of the night) from the Hindu pantheon.

@grb090423 @modulux According to CoPilot, this is an African folk tale about a girl named Amara. Does that sound familiar?

@grb090423 Melania means girl w black hair (sic, look at the roots), from Greek melanos, I know bc my brother would have been called that if they were a girl. Maybe that helps?
