Magic Words

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Stefano Vitale. This collection of narrative poems is based on Inuit myths about creation, a time when "words were like magic." Fields has attempted to capture the ancient Inuit voices as he describes the evolution of sun and moon, heaven and hell, thunder and lightning, and the animals that roam the far north. Vitale's oil paintings done on bark, wood, and stone faithfully recall Native art.
