Seven Arrows by Gustavo Novoa: Children's Story Written and Illustrated by Gustavo Novoa

By Gustavo Novoa

Book Overview

"Seven Arrows" is a story that breaks the barriers between myth and conventional wisdom, between fantasy and reality; and all because of the dream of a 10 year old boy that falls asleep in front of a black panther's cage in New York's' Central Park Zoo. Real life characters now take sides, but are transformed into a wise white buffalo and a mischievous black Raven. American Indian legends conflict with 21st century technology but the animal spirits prevail in the end and win Ricky over , taking him through the colors of the Rainbow and their corresponding lessons to arrive at last at a Promised Land not unlike ours, but more plentiful and without humans. They settle in, but as time goes by they realize much to their surprise that they miss Man and Ricky misses his family badly... Luckily he wakes in his mother's lap in Central Park, but the dream was so real that he might need to use some of his wisdom, newly acquired from all that space traveling.
