There was a hole in the sky which linked the world with Raven's and he put creatures onto the land. When they argued he took the sun from them. A baby boy was born and he was extraordinary and he grew wings on his back. The little boy brought back the sun to the land and was up in the sky with his father.
This book is about the legend of how a Raven was a god who created the human race, and gave them a song. The song was what kept the peace and helped the humans remember how to love and be kind to one another. Over the years, the humans forgot the song, so the Raven took away the sun and decided to leave. Upon leaving he left a single feather, which a woman accidentally drank; from this she became pregnant and gave birth to a son. The son heard the song and brought the sun back into the world.
This book is an alaskan folktale about how the world and its inhabitants were created by a raven who is ultimately disappointed in his creation until his son helps him see the world in a positive light

When the people become disconnected and no longer show respect to each other, Raven takes the sun back. Raven’s son, Little Darkness discovers the sun and Raven must save him from a fall and returns the sun. The story is serious and informational, but the illustrations are bright, soft, and help support the story. This story isn’t one that I’d reach for as a first choice, but deserves a space in primary libraries.
