Raven: A Trickster Tale from the Pacific Northwest / written and illustrated by Gerald McDermott
Harcourt Brace and Co.
1993
Raven, a Pacific Coast Indian trickster, sets out to find the sun.
Culture studies, indigenous peoples of the Pacific Northwest. Mythologies.
I really liked the bold folk-art style, reminiscent of the style of totem art, as contrasted with the soft watercolors of the landscape and people depicted. It anchors Raven to the place of respect and honor the indigenous people gave to him, and the playful colors echo his trickster nature.
