Translated by Jean Kusugak.
Illustrated by
Ippiksaut Friesen.
Not so much a story as discrete snapshots of the sister collaborators' community-oriented life growing up in Canada's Nunavut: eating raw caribou meat, watching the northern lights, etc. With text printed three ways--in English, the Inuktitut language, and its romanized transliteration--and illustrated with uneven but intriguing watercolor and acrylic paintings, the book may find a small but appreciative niche audience.
