Long, long ago there were no beautifully colored birds like we see today. Raven and his friend Jay are tired of the dull gray color of their feathers. Raven has an idea to change this and leads Jay on an adventure, but his plan turns out to be full of surprises--even for him. Author Dotty Cline based this delightful tale on an Athabascan myth. She cut the brightly colored illustrations from finger paintings created by her grandchildren.
