Summary:
A ringed seal, known in Inuktitut as
nattiq
, has returned to his
Arctic
home after a long journey south. His friends -- a polar bear, caribou, raven, walrus and narwhal -- gather round to hear about his trip. "What did you see beyond our
land
?" shouts the polar bear.
Nattiq
describes the amazing sights he has seen -- from crystal clear waters full of giant icebergs to the tundra in full summertime bloom to strange, tall
statues
, far to the south. The
statues
swayed in the autumn breeze, howled when winter storms set in and opened their arms to nesting birds in the spring. "They can never come and visit us,"
Nattiq
explains to his friends, and so he plans to return south every year to tell them stories from the
Arctic
. Inspired by her travels, Barbara Landry has written an imaginative
story
about discovery and friendship. Martha Kyak brings her familiarity with the North to the stunning illustrations. Includes a glossary of Inuktitut words.
