Raven Birth, Soy Blossom — Rich Brown

Inspired by the various mythologies and shamanic practices of the world, these stories teach children to respect and love the Earth, the wisdom of listening to their dreams, and how to see beauty and magic everywhere around them. This book is about a boy named Lars, his parents, and Blanco the house cat (or so they think!). Blanco is much more than a cat - he is an ancient Dragon Cat. He's been waiting until just the right time to tell Lars the story of creation. While Lars drifts off to sleep and starts to dream, Blanco transforms to tell him this first story. It is the story of Raven and the birth of a lovely cat named Soy. Soy is truly the main character of these stories.
