Raven Makes the Aleutians
CCBC Review:
A Tlingit Raven tale adapted from traditional Alaskan Native Tlingit storytellers and illustrated by Haida artist Janine Gibbons tells how exhausted Raven, flying over endless water after the flood, falls from the sky and lands on a small bed of kelp. He asks an otter to bring him gravel from the ocean floor, and tosses this out to create a chain of islands in a story set against arresting, expansive paintings. ©2019 Cooperative Children’s Book CenterIllustrated by Janine Gibbons
