Raven Loses His Nose
CCBC Review:
A Tlingit Raven tale adapted from traditional Alaskan Native Tlingit storytellers and illustrated by Tsimshian artist David Lang. When Raven’s greed gets the better of him, he gobbles the seal fat ball the villagers are using in a game. Then he steals their seal fat bait when they go fishing for halibut, until a hook gets caught in his nose and pulls it right off. He then must trick the villagers in order to get it back in a tale paired with stylized images echoing the style of Native Northwest traditional art. ©2019 Cooperative Children’s Book CenterIllustrated by David Lang
