Paul Goble’s illustrations accurately depict Native American clothing, customs, and surroundings in brilliant color and detail. He also researched ancient stories and retold them for his young audiences. 

"The sun is an important spiritual being in American Indian cosmologies. In Paul Goble’s illustrations, it is usually a solid, bright red, though occasionally pink or yellow. Goble’s sun is often surrounded by concentric rays built of paired isosceles triangles, a traditional Plains Indian design called 'war bonnet.' Revered by Plains Indians as a source of life and renewal, Goble’s suns and rays symbolize its power and importance as well as harmony and unity."  -South Dakota Art Museum.
