The Blind Boy and the Loon by Alethea Arnaquq-Baril
A beautiful retelling of a traditional Inuit story that both explains the origin of the narwhal and cautions listeners against the dangers of seeking revenge.“. . [A]n accomplished and breath-taking rendition.”—CanLit for Little Canadians
“Part morality tale, part cultural history, part mythic testimony, Arnaquq-Baril’s epic rendering is both preservation and celebration of Native traditions.”—Book Dragon
