Nancy Van Laan

Rainbow Crow: A Lenape Tale is a 1989 children's book written by Nancy Van Laan and illustrated by Beatriz Vidal. Van Laan wrote it after encountering a corn planting ceremony of the Lenape tribe. While the book presents the story as originating from a Lenape legend, the authenticity of this origin has been questioned, as there is no record of the tale before the book's publication in 1989.
