Trickster Tales

 by Gerald McDermott

Raven, Coyote and Jabuti the tortoise--three tricksters from Gerald McDermott’s award-winning folk tales--bestow gifts and get into trouble as they explore the earth and the heavens in Book-It’s fall touring show. In Coyote: A Trickster Tale from the American Southwest, a mischievous bright blue coyote with a nose for trouble meets a flock of crows and he longs to fly with them. The crows help him, but soon grow tired of his bragging and boasting, so they teach him a lesson that changes him forever. Raven: A Trickster Tale from the Pacific Northwest, tells the tale of how Raven brings light into a world covered in darkness. Raven searches far and wide for the source of the light and finally plays a mighty trick on the Sky Chief to steal the sun and place it in the sky for all the people. Jabuti The Tortoise: A Trickster Tale from the Amazon follows Jabuti whose magical flute-playing enchants and tricks the jungle’s many residents. But his song sounds bitter to Vulture who is jealous because he can’t sing. When a concert is held in heaven, Vulture offers to fly Jabuti there, all the while plotting a trick of his own.
