| Musicians of the Sun ~ by Gerald McDermott A picture-book version of an Aztec myth. The Lord of the Night uses his magic mirror to gaze down at the world, but discovers that it is a gray and joyless place. Wanting to bring happiness to the people of the world, the Lord of the Night commands the Wind to fly to the house of the Sun and release the four musicians that are being held prisoner there: Red, Yellow, Blue, and Green. The Wind wants to fulfill the Lord of the Night's wish, but the Sun is a fierce warrior determined to keep the musicians imprisoned. Will the Wind be able to bring color, joy, and music back to the people of the Earth? The illustrations were created using acrylic fabric paint, opaque ink, and oil pastel on handmade Mexican paper Condition is excellent condition . |
