Interesting, simple creation myth for children to delve deeper into the world of myths and folklore. ( )

The Grandmother Spider Brings the Sun is a perfect example of a book that might be used with K-4 students during the study of folklore or Native Americans. Clay Pottery, spiders, elders and fire are all prominent themes that both the author and illustrator do a wonderful jobs portraying.
