The Raven is a Pacific Northwest folklore that explores how a raven stole the sun to provide light. The raven transforms itself into a pine needle that turns into a baby when the Sky Chief's daughter drinks the needle on accident. Once the baby its born, it stills the sun from the Sky Chief's home. The book is filled with a lot of dark colors why the raven is bright and colorful. The illustrations do not brighten up until the sun has been thrown into the sky.
Crow and Hawk is a Pueblo Indian Story that tell a story about how a crow leaves it's nest and a hawk helps hatch the eggs and feeds the crow babies. It is a story of how important your responsibilities are. The illustrations are bright and full of Indian art.
Both stories depict their cultures that shine through the illustrations in the books. I truly enjoyed this genre of children's novels.
