A girl speaks to the folkloric character Raven, asking him to take her into the sky, underwater, to the elders' fire, and then home to bed. Blaikie beckons readers into the northern world of the Yukon Territory using batik art enhanced with pen and ink. Stilted in places, the text is not as enchanting as the illustrations.
