"A lively #ownvoices romp into the power of intentionâand the hilarity of trial and error."âKirkus Reviews
When the earth was new, words had the power to breathe life into the world. But when creating animals from breath, sometimes one does not get everything right on the first try! Based on a traditional Inuit story passed forward orally for generations in the South Baffin region of Nunavut, this book shares with young readers the origin of the caribou and the walrusâand tells of how very different these animals looked when they were first conceived.
