Book Synopsis A Man Called Raven by : Richard Van Camp
Download or read book A Man Called Raven written by Richard Van Camp and published by Children's Book Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back in stock! When Chris and Toby Greyeyes find a raven in the garage, they try to trap it and hurt it with hockey sticks. To them, ravens are just a nuisance because they spread garbage all over the street. Or so they think--until a mysterious man who smells like pine needles enters their lives and teaches them his story of the raven. In this intriguing book, George Littlechild, internationally acclaimed artist and author of the Jane Addams Awardwinning book This Land Is My Land, returns to collaborate with Richard Van Camp, an exciting voice in Native American literature. Set in the Northwest Territories of Canada, Van Camp's contemporary story draws from the animal legends and folklore told to him by his Dogrib elders. Littlechild's bold use of color and perspective captures the sense of mystery and magic surrounding the strange raven man who teaches the boys the meaning of respect for nature. Blending past with present, the magical with the real, A Man Called Raven is both a tribute to the wisdom of the raven and a positive reminder that we can all learn from nature.
