Hard Back, Pictorial Boards. Condition: B: Book: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: No Dust Jacket. 9. Illustrated with Colored drawings/watercolor (illustrator). Reprint. Hardcover. Unpaginated (approx. 48 pages). Large folio format. Very good condition. Signed and inscribed by Gerald McDermott, with an original drawing incorporated into the signature depicting a pueblo-style laddered structure evocative of Southwestern and Latin American architectural traditions. Inscribed: "To Mary-Anna, with warmest wishes." Typical gentle wear to edges and spine consistent with careful use; binding remains sound and pages are clean and bright. ~ Arrow to the Sun is McDermott's iconic retelling of a Pueblo Indian myth, following a young boy's symbolic journey to discover his identity and place in the world. Told through bold geometric imagery and spare, resonant text, the story draws deeply from Pueblo visual language, ceremonial symbolism, and oral tradition. Awarded the Caldecott Medal, the book is widely regarded as a landmark in American children's literature and illustration. ~ Gerald McDermott (1941-2012) was both author and illustrator, known for adapting global folktales with striking modernist design and cultural sensitivity. His work bridges fine art and children's literature, making signed examples-particularly those with original drawings-highly desirable to collectors of illustrated books, Caldecott titles, and Southwest-inspired art. ** A handsome signed copy with personal inscription and drawing, well suited for collectors, educators, or as a meaningful gift. 48 p. SIGNED & INSCRIBED By Author. Book.
