Coyote and the Sky: How the Sun, Moon, and Stars Began

This tale of squirrel, rabbit, badger, and coyote shares the Santa Ana Pueblo story of how the sun, moon, and stars came to be, but also teaches us an important lesson of what happens to animals, or people, when they refuse to obey instructions.

Emmett "Shkeme" Garcia, of the Santa Ana Pueblo, uses his skill as a storyteller to share his Pueblo's story of the beginnings of the stars and constellations. Victoria Pringle's illustrations provide visual elements that enhance the action of the story.
