Children of the Midnight Sun was chosen as one of Parenting
Magazine's 1998 Books of the Year and School Library Journal's Best
Books of 1998. For Native children, growing up in Alaska today
means dwelling in a place where traditional practices sometimes mix
oddly with modern conveniences. Children of the Midnight Sun
explores the lives of eight Alaskan Native children, each
representing a unique and ancient culture. This extraordinary book
also looks at the critical role elders play in teaching the young
Native traditions. Photographs and text present the experiences and
way of life of Tlingit, Athabascan, Yup’ik, and other Native
American children in the villages, cities, and Bush areas of
Alaska.
