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. Showcasing Arctic life: Similar to previous community storybooks (for example, Where Did the Walruses Go?, Elijah's Super Halloween, Inuki's Birthday Party), the reader is shown a community in Nunavut through the eyes of a child narrator. This book describes different activities that are done in each season in Sanirajak, Nunavut (Hall Beach). Some examples are ice fishing and collecting eggs in the spring, hunting walruses and caribou in the summer, collecting clams in the fall, and hunting at the floe edge in winter, and discusses how hunters share their catches with the community. Written by an Indigenous author and educator. 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.
This book was also reviewed specifically by the author to accurately depict life in Sanirajak (both the text and illustration). Bonus educational material: Activities are included at the back of the book to prompt discussion and help with reading comprehension. Printable components will be available to download for free online.
