Synopsis
Retelling the North American legend of Star Maiden, wandering the night sky in search of a home on earth

From School Library Journal
Grade 2-4 In this American Ojibway Indian legend about the origin of the water lilies, simple, relatively short sentences suffice to describe the events of how some magical sky maidens came to earth to find rest and relaxation on the peaceful ponds as white water lilies. The watercolor paintings show clear evidence of anthropological research in the details of costumes and utensils. Each is heavily framed on three sides by patterned borders apparently derived from Ojibway textiles and beadwork. These borders and the vignettes acting as the fourth side of the frame tend to overwhelm the rather delicate illustrations. These pictures provide considerable information through fine line drawings tinted with transparent pigments. Their delicacy suggests the never-never-time of all legends, but the details of the framing detract from the mystic feeling. Nevertheless, the competency of the artwork and the charm of the tale help compensate for the intrusive design. Kenneth Marantz, Art Education Department, Ohio State University, Columbus
