“Rainbow Crow” is a Lenape legend retold by Nancy Van Laan and beautifully illustrated by Beatriz Vidal. The setting of this story is within a magnificent forest where all creatures big and small call home. It seemed almost perfect until a blizzard occurred, making it almost unbearable. After several cold days a remarkable Rainbow Crow arrives, and praises the Great Spirit with a song. His beautiful melody earns him the gift of Fire.

AJones This courages Crow brings his gift back to the forest to melt the snow. His self sacrifice (of melody and beauty) was not overlooked by the Great Spirit, who grants him freedom and tiny rainbows throughout his feathers. 🌈 🎶 Making him Black Crow. #GoodDeeds
