Caribou Girl

32 pp. | Roberts | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 1-57098-145-0
(4) K-3 When her people are starving, an Inuit girl turns into a caribou and lives with the distant herd, bringing back knowledge of the animals and becoming a shaman. However, it is not clear exactly what new information the girl learns to save her people. Based on the legends and ways of ancient Inuits, the original story is accompanied by swirling, dreamlike illustrations in blues and tans.
