Eagle Boy: A Traditional Navajo Legend

Synopsis

A young boy is chosen by the eagles to journey to the sky to learn their sacred healing ways. Before the boy can receive this gift, he must prove himself to be both clever and brave. Only then will he be worthy of a new name, Eagle Boy. This magnificent myth is illustrated with soft pastels, evocative of the earth and sky of the great Southwest.

Father and Mother Eagle take a Navajo boy to the country of the clouds where, though he allows Coyote to trick him, he learns the healing ways of eagles.
