Bookroo's summary

Embark on a journey through ten Inuit tales, spanning from Siberia to Greenland. Experience the beauty and mystery of these stories, vividly illustrated and deeply rooted in Inuit culture. Traverse taiga, tundra, and icy seas, encountering laughter and tears along the way. What secrets and wisdom will these ancient narratives reveal?

From the publisher

Based on decades of research and extended collaboration with Inuit storytellers, award-winning author Howard Norman’s masterful retellings of ten Inuit tales invite readers on a unique story–journey from Siberia and Alaska to the Canadian Arctic and Greenland. Dramatic illustrations inspired by stonecut art of the Inuit people capture the beauty and mystery of these stories as they carry us–sometimes laughing, sometimes crying–from village to village over taiga, tundra, snow plains, and the iceberg-filled sea.
