Raven and the Hidden Halibut

Halibut wants to play! A modern folktale about how the halibut got its coloring, we follow Raven and Halibut through a game of hide and seek. Halibut is lonely and wants to play, but when he dies, Raven can’t find him. Raven recruits several other animals to help find him, but he remains hidden on the seabed, surrounded by seaweed. The other animals give up, but Halibut waits, slowly taking on the colors of the seabed - now he’s always playing hide and seek and never feels lonely. This is a straightforward, lighthearted book with vibrant illustrations. The book also features many Tlingit words accompanying the English.
