In this traditional Inuit story, a simple walk on the tundra becomes a life or death journey for a young man. When he comes across a giant who wants to take him home and cook him for dinner, the young man’s quick thinking saves him from being devoured by the giant and his family, and in the process releases the first fog into the world.
 
Written by Cape Dorest elder Qaunaq Mikkigak and Marilyn Baillie Picture Book Awardߝnominated author Joanne Schwartz, this action-packed picture book brings a centuries-old traditional tale to life for modern readers.

Extras

"The turngaq's wife stepped into the raging water and started drinking.
Gulping quickly, she drank and drank. Still not able to cross the river, she drank some more. Finally, so full she could hardly move, she drank even more. And when she couldn't drink another drop, she drank again."
