Rabbit Shoots the Sun: A Hopi Folktale

By Terri Fields

Book Overview

How is it that rabbits became frightened of noise? Why does the sun rise slowly? Before science explained it all, a Hopi legend revealed some reasons. In this delightful retelling of an ancient fable by award-winning author Terri Fields, Rabbit sets out to teach Sun some manners about being too hot, but Sun isn't really interested in changing. The two engage in a battle that forever changes both the sun and the rabbit. With charming illustrations by Hopi artist Gerald Dawavendewa, young readers will be enchanted by this timeless folktale.
