"A lively #ownvoices romp into the power of intention--and the
hilarity of trial and error."--Kirkus 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 walrus--and tells of how very different these animals looked
when they were first conceived.
