Abstract

"In this ancient Inuit tale, the actions of two orphaned siblings change the Arctic skies forever by creating lightning and thunder.

This beautifully illustrated Arctic legend weaves together elements of an origin story and a traditional cautionary tale, giving young readers a window into Inuit mythology.

This particular tale has been passed orally from storyteller to storyteller for hundreds of years in the Kivalliq region of Nunavut."--Back cover.
