Work Description
"The author uses her own her own experiences as background for a series of interrelated stories about several Baffin Island Eskimo children. Different types of work- hunting, securing food, constructing shelter, making clothes- are described, as are friendships, relationships between adults and children, games and travel. A concluding chapter on games shows that they are not just for fun but are important for survival. A vocabulary of Eskimo words is included." American Indian Authors for Young Readers: A Selected Bibliography p 12
