Bilingual Inuktitut and English: Includes Inuktitut Syllabics and English text on each page. Useful for those who can read Inuktitut or to expose children to Indigenous languages. Inuktitut Syllabics are used to closely follow the teaching recommendations of the Department of Education in Nunavut. Educationally reviewed: All our publications are reviewed intensively by a team of Northern educators and language experts to ensure they are culturally authentic and that stories and information are considered in an educational context. Specialized subject matter: One of the few books for children available on the subject of Inuit naming practices and kinship terms. This book also touches on the meaning behind different Inuit names and the idea of rebirth and the cycle of life. Inuit naming practices are also explored in You Come From the Stars, available in Spring 2024. Showcasing Indigenous authors: The four children in the book are real and shared their real naming stories.


They come from across Nunavut. The illustrations are based on photographs taken of the children that were provided by the families. Educational sales opportunity: This book is written with simple language for young children to understand. Although it's told from the perspective of four children, it is fundamentally an informational book/resource. Ends with a question ("What is your name?") to prompt discussion which makes it perfect for classroom or educational use. A great fit for educational wholesale accounts.
