Synopsis

In the dark depths of winter, snow is falling and the animals are freezing and famished. Brave Crow sets out on a dangerous journey to find the Sun, and beg for warmth. Will Crow succeed, and what will happen to his colourful rainbow feathers? Inspired by a Lenape Native American myth, this beautiful debut picture book shows how courage and kindness are what really matter.

â “Without the Sun’s warmth we’ll have nothing to eat.

Who will it be that asks for some heat?â ”

Though all of the animals offered to go,

no one could do it – exceptâ € ¦

RAINBOW CROW!
