Summary: I simply fell in love with the artwork and its young hero.
Review: Paul O. Lewis does a great service to children by using a scholarly approach to his young hero. Giving us not only rich and evocative artworkbut portraying the ancient tale of the mythichero with fresh and innocent eyes is a wonderfulgift. Readers seeking the beauty of a children'sbook that provides an uplifting experience and faithful cultural feeling will fall in love with thisbook just as I have. -V.S.

Summary: A classic, beautiful book
Review: People will be framing the artwork from this book fifty years from now. And it's one of my son's favorite books. Great for reading aloud, one of the books you keep reaching for. A classic story, well told and beautifully rendered with images that are faithful to the actual traditions and styles of the Haida and Tlingit people. So it's not just "mind candy" -- it's an introduction to a culture.
