"This adaptation of the Pueblo Indian myth explains how the spirit of the Lord of the Sun is brought to the world of men. Further, the use of color in the book, especially the rainbow to represent the sun and the boy, who was a spark of the sun, was wonderful, too, as the sun the source of all rainbows. In this story, the boy is sent to the sun, but passes the tests, returns and becomes a wayshower or light bringer for his people, not unlike Jesus and other light bringers and wayshowers. I found an inverse connection between well-loved story of Icarus, who traveled to the sun, but never returned, and a positive connection between the rainbow tribe of the Lakota Souix (in reference to the legend of the White Buffalo Calf Woman, who brings this rainbow tribe into being) and other peoples reflected in the dance of life at the end of the book.
The people hold a massive celebration for their son, who is now the Sun. It is then that the boy is sent back to his people in the form of an arrow, and the Sun is brought back to the Earth. He has many trials to overcome and, in the end, he succeeds and is filled with the Sun. In this fantastic Pueblo Indian mythological tale, a boy is shot like an arrow to the Lord of the Sun and goes on a journey to become like the Sun.
