The Gift of the Inuksuk

32 pp. | Sleeping Bear | November, 2004 | Trade ISBN 1-58536-214-X $17.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Melanie Rose. Inuksuit are figures made of stones, that have stood for centuries in the Canadian north. In a rather contrived story about how these figures were first created, an Inuit girl makes them to show her family's hunters the way home. Expansive double-page oil paintings show the majesty of the Arctic setting.
