Coyote and the Sky: How the Sun, Moon, and Stars Began

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Victoria Pringle. In this Pueblo myth, the Animal People journey to the surface world but find it in darkness. Their leader gives them hot coals to use for light, but trickster Coyote wants to foil the plan. The simple, sparely told tale is accompanied by attractive cut-paper painted illustrations and ink spot-art.
