Review # 1 was written on 2015-07-16 00:00:00 Mel Jastram WHO WILL BE THE SUN is a children's picture book that retells one of many Native American myths about how the sun came to be. Different animals try to take the place of honor and bring light to the darkened world, but only one can truly become the sun. This was an interesting book. I think as a child I would have enjoyed it immensely. The illustrations are great-very colorful and fanciful, and they took up the whole page, which I loved! The story is quirky and gives anthropomorphic personality to various animals. As someone who has taken mythology and anthropology courses, it is a fascinating look at one of the ways in which ancient cultures tied to explain the world without science. As a regular adult reading the book it was… trippy. Even nightmarish at one point with things catching on fire because the sun was too hot. But then, I watched Don Bluth films growing up and I turned out mostly okay. On the whole, if you're looking for a quick, colorful read this is great. There are other children's mythology books I would recommend more, though. My favorite by far is THE LEGEND OF THE BLUEBONNET by Tomie dePaula. For a little older children, try PERSEPHONE by Sally Pomme Clayton.
