• Visually stunning with a wonderful message.

  I saw this book the first time when I was in about the fourth grade. I was very impressed back then with the beauty of it. Now I'm an English teacher and I have all of my students read it. It's as beautiful of a book as you could ever hope to find and it's very interesting to see a story from another culture that is so similar to the story of Christ. It's very surprising and I am enjoying it more now than when I was a child.

• 光り輝く心を持つ子供に。。。。

  小さいころに読んだ記憶が。。。もう一度、持ってみて子供たちに読んでやりたいと、購入しました。 父親がいないがためにいじめられる、そして父親を探すたびに出かける、黄色とオレンジ色だけの世界から、旅立ち虹色を持つ“太陽”という父親の元へ。。。ストリーも、本のモザイクのような絵も色も。。。 大人も子供も、自分自身の強さ、輝きを見直すことができるすばらしい本です。

• 反芻しつつ味わいたい

  プエブロ族に伝わる神話です。 父を知らない子が、父を探す旅に出ます。 その子は道々で様々の人（神々にも見える）に会い、 流離い、試練に会います…。 絵も文章も味わい深いです。 プロイスラーの「クラバート」を思い出しました。 父を知らなかった子は、試練を経て、最後に祝福を受けます。

  My favourite book

• My favorite children's book.

  I have been trying to remember this book from my childhood for many years now. When I finally figured out the title I was surprised to find it is still available! This has beautiful artwork and an interesting story. I'm very happy to have this back in my book collection.
