Raven has been present since the beginning of time and the formation of man. One day while flying, the raven makes an incredible discovery. However, when he shares the news, no one believes him. Determined to prove himself, the raven finds his purpose and accomplishes something amazing. Belly on the Water is an African-American folklore origin story about self-doubt, self-confidence, determination, purpose, forgiveness, and change. Beautifully told and illustrated, it is a message of hope and overcoming, and of light and darkness.
