When Jake finally gets a puppy to call his own, all he can think
about is the fast, strong sled dog that his puppy will become. But
Kamik is far from an obedient sled dog. He won't listen, he tracks
mud all over the house, and he's a lot more work than Jake ever
thought a puppy could be! But after a visit with his grandfather,
who raised many puppies of his own while living out on the land,
Jake learns that Inuit have been raising puppies just like Kamik to
be obedient, resourceful, helpful sled dogs for generations.
Inspired by the real-life recollections of an elder from Arviat,
Nunavut, this book lovingly recreates the traditional dog-rearing
practices that prevailed when Inuit relied on dogs for
transportation and survival.
When young Donald and his friends head down to the water to play,
they have no idea that they are soon to encounter a mermaid, one of
the creatures that his elders have told him about. Terrified, the
boys run back to their camp, ready to tell everyone what they have
just seen. But what did they see? They can't seem to remember it
clearly. It is up to Donald's grandmother to explain to them the
magical creature they just encountered.
