In a unique cultural snapshot, Rivera has crafted stories related by four Inuit artists as well as their biographical information, photographs, and a reproduction of one of their prints, paintings, or sculptures. The artists’ sto ries as well as their artwork underscore the weather, activities, danger, and beauty of the far north. The author’s multifaceted approach offers a personal as well as an informative look inside Inuit culture. Author’s notes, a glossary, and further reading suggestions provide additional information. 2008 USBBY Outstanding International Books List. nlh
