The patience of a little musk ox is sorely tried when he suffers an
itch that he can’t scratch. There’s not a tree in
sight—nothing to rub against for relief—so he wanders away from
the herd looking for a branch, a rock pile, anything. On his
journey, he meets with three individuals: a buffalo, a wolf, and a
Native woman. Through his interaction with each one, he learns
something new and affirming about himself before returning to the
herd. Endnotes include information about how musk ox were native to
Alaska until they were decimated by hunters in 1865, then
reintroduced in the early 1930s; biological/behavioral details
about the animals; and info about the cottage industry among Native
villages in which women knit the qiviut (KIV-ee-oot), the rare
underwool, into beautiful, warm garments. "Learn more"
two-page section provides facts and information about the animal
and about qiviut, the softest wool in the world which comes from
musk ox.
