I Am the Sun

Bol

An evocative, picture book tribute to the resilience of modern Native American life In this moving tale about present-day life for many Native Americans, breathtaking art and poignant prose tell of the hardships, the triumphs, and the resilience of a mighty people: the Dine (the Navajo). They raise sheep. They craft stunning jewelry. They weave vibrant rugs. But still many are without running water or electricity, and their stories and past remain forgotten to nearly all but themselves. I Am the Sun is that story, capturing in picture and word the joy and endurance of a people who love their history, family, language, art, food, dance, and land—and who hope patiently for a day that the sun will rise even brighter. Written by Janessa Parker, whose Navajo father grew up on the reservation, and illustrated by Navajo illustrator Beverly Blacksheep, I Am the Sun is a groundbreaking book to bring about understanding and harmony between all people. A groundbreaking picture book to help people understand the challenges still faced by many modern Native Americans Written by Janessa Parker, whose Navajo father grew up on a reservation, and illustrated by Navajo artist Beverly Blacksheep Evocative text and art weave a poignant, moving tale of hope and resilience
