Concept by Gita Wolf. This beautiful handmade book of folklore about the sun and moon highlights India's different Indigenous traditions. The silkscreen-printed illustrations by ten artists are striking, but without context, the accompanying text is obscure. Back matter includes two additional stories and a page explaining which tribe and region each spread represents. Despite the disjointed approach, the art helps this book stand out.
