Overview

Have a look into the lives of two Native American sisters, Prancing Fawn and Dark Moon. The whole Bear Clan Town prepares for the Berry Moon Celebration. By the end of the festival the two sister's approach to life will lead to very different outcomes. The tale will become part of discussions about vanity and how so much emphasis is often placed on what someone looks like on the outside as well as how being pretty sometimes gives a sense of entitlement. The lush illustrations expand awareness by adding visual depth to the text. Each page of the book has stunning artwork which serves to increase understanding of a time and culture long since forgotten. This story, like so many other Native American tales, helps to teach a most valuable lesson. Dark Moon to Rising Sun, is a great read for anyone who wants to experience a true American Indian story with a moral at the end which will extend throughout life.
