  When Raven creates people and animals, birds and fishes to inhabit the beautiful world below the great tent of the sky, he sings a song of pure joy. But when he sees people greedily capturing and killing the creatures around them, and finds his song deafened by shouting, he angrily hides the sun away, leaving the land below to freeze in darkness. Sadly, he plucks a farewell feather from his breast and leaves it to float away on the wind. But the feather is accidentally swallowed by a woman below, and the child she bears is Raven's son, Little Darkness. How Little Darkness brings back light and warmth to the world is beautifully told and illustrated by Amanda Hall in an original story drawing on mythological themes and beliefs of Native Alaska.
