Star Boy by Paul Goble
Star Boy
Star Boy was the son of Morning Star and an earthly bride. He was
banished from the Sky World for this mothers disobedience and bore a
mysterious scar on his face, the symbol of the Suns disapproval. As Star
Boy grew, he came to love the chiefs daughter, and it was she who helped
him find the courage to journey to the Sky World and make peace with the
Sun. The Sun not only lifted the scar but sent Star Boy back to the world
with the sacred knowledge of the Sun Dance, a ceremony of thanks for the
Creators blessing.
Personal Review: Star Boy by Paul Goble
These books were purchased for the opening of a new kindergarten on the
Pine Ridge (Sioux) Indian Reservation in So. Dakota. I was told by the
children's teacher they are thrilled with the books, particularly as the
heroes and heroines are children who look the same as they do, show
knowledge of the same culture and share the same mythology. Providing

these children with a positive self-image from day one of their school
experience will reap future rewards through a love of reading.
