"Weaving together important themes in Native Alaskan culture, Hall creates a hauntingly original story." —Kirkus Reviews

cover The Stolen Sun
A Story of Native Alaska

Written and illustrated by Amanda Hall

Raven created people and animals to fill the world, but when the people forget to sing his song and become discontented and violent, Raven takes the sun away and leaves the land in darkness. When Raven's son, Little Darkness, risks his life to free the sun, Raven saves Little Darkness and returns the sun to the sky. Hall's unique perspective on a common theme and intricate illustrations bring this enchanting folk story to life.
