Arrow to the Sun

Summary

Drawing on a Pueblo myth, this story follows a boy who searches for his father, the Lord of the Sun, and journeys through trials inside the kivas of beasts to prove his identity. Gerald McDermott renders the tale in bold geometric shapes and radiant colors inspired by Native American art of the Southwest, with stylized figures that suggest sun symbols and desert light. The striking flat design and warm palette make it one of the most visually distinctive picture books of its era.
