Bookroo's summary
In a time when words could alter reality, a hare and a fox meet in the Arctic, longing for light and darkness. Their desires are so potent that they transform the world, giving birth to day and night. This enchanting tale, rooted in Inuit mythology, invites readers to explore the power of words and the origins of the natural world. What happens when wishes become reality, and how will the Arctic be forever changed by these two creatures' dreams?
From the publisher
“Spare and beautiful.”–★ Kirkus In very early times, there was no night or day and words spoken by chance could become real. When a hare and a fox meet and express their longing for light and darkness, their words are too powerful to be denied. Passed orally from storyteller to storyteller for hundreds of years, this beautifully illustrated story weaves together elements of an origin story and a traditional animal tale, giving young readers a window into Inuit mythology.
