In a trickster story from the Tlingit, Raven becomes a human child and steals the stars, moon, and sun from a selfish chief. While the text could use a bit of honing, the illustrations effectively show the tale's magical transformations. This book, part of a series by Native American authors and artists, ends with four pages of information, including photographs and a glossary. From HORN BOOK Spring 2002, (c) Copyright 2010.
