Arrow to the Sun
by Gerald McDermott Illustrated by Gerald McDermott
An expression of the universal myth of the hero-quest, this beautiful story also portrays the Indian reverence for the source of life: the Solar Fire. Indian myth in which the Lord of the Sun sends the spark of life to earth, and it becomes a Boy. Vibrant full-color illustrations capture the boldness and color of Pueblo art.
