There was no light in the world.
People lived in darkness.
Then Raven came.

Raven, of Native American tradition, is a powerful trickster on a cosmic scale.  In this mysterious story, he searches for the light hidden in the house of Sky Chief.  But how will he get inside the house?  And once inside, how will he escape to bring light to the world?

Influenced by Native American design from the Pacific Northwest, Gerald McDermott tells this traditional Native American trickster story with grace and humor.
