Good story, great illustrations based upon a Chumash Indian legend ; a perfect gift for a seven year old that loves to read.
Awesome item
"The Rainbow Bridge," retold by Audrey Wood with oil on canvas paintings by Robert Florczak, is inspired by a Chumash tale. The name of that Native American tribe will be familiar to young readers who watched "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," since several members of the Chumash tribe showed up one memorable Thanksgiving in Season 4 (and did things to Xander that cannot be discussed in polite company). The Chumash lived in what is now the central California coast from Los Angeles northward to San Luis Obispo. There were a peaceful people, known for their art, mainly basketry and cave paintings, and their distinctive social and spiritual culture. The Storyteller's Note at the start of this oversize book explains that the most famous invention of the Chumash was the "tomol," a plant canoe, that allowed them to trade with villagers on nearby islands. They were rather unique as a native people because they could find everything they needed in the environment in which they lived, without having to raise crops or domesticate animals.This story was inspired by an oral Chumash legend, expanded by Wood in terms of both characters and lengths. It begins with Hutash, the earth goddess, walking alone on the island of Limuw. Gathering seeds from a sacred plant she scatters them upon the earth so that there might be people, teh Chumash tribe, made in her own image. Along with her husband, the great wise Sky Snake (a.k.a., the Milky Way), Hutash loved the people and gave them gifts so that they would thrive. But then there were too many people and Hutash told the people that Limuw had grown crowded and in three days half of them must leave and go to the land across the water while the other half stay on her island. The rainbow bridge stretching from the highest mountain on Limuw to the highest mountain on the land across the water is how the people who left Limuw would travel to their new home.The problem is that some of the Chumash look down during their journey and fall from the great height in to the ocean, where Hutash must act to save them. The story of "The Rainbow Bridge" is part-creation story, which makes for parallels to Genesis and other creation stories, but there are obvious comparisons to be made to other sacred stories and legends in class discussion. Some additional research might be involved, but should be well worth the effort and class time spent on exploring issues of comparative mythology. A portion of the royalties from the sale of "The Rainbow Bridge" will be donated by the author for the further preservation and undersanding of the Chumash culture. The author even recommends "The Chumash People: Materials for Teachers and Students" from the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History as an excellent source of additional information you children.
This was a beautifully illustrated storybook about how Los Angeles CA 'came to be'. The way the Chumas Indians believe how the islands came to be and also how the dolphins are so sacred. This was an interesting book, nicely written but the paintings that are used as the illustrations is what REALLY makes this book. But becareful of younger children reading this, as an adult be ready to help educate them in the way you believe and how some tribes of Indians believe differently than some others etc. Doesn't mean that this story is untrue, just that it could confuse some younger children as they read it
This is a beautifully written and illustrated book. I recommend it for all ages.
