This bilingual book (English and Inuktitut) provides a look at an Inuit girl's day spent clam-digging with her grandmother. The surprise of a squirting clam, the discovery of a "bright orange starfish," and a comforting meal of clams and tea are depicted in Teevee's faux-childlike graphite and colored-pencil drawings. The text, though stiff, reflects a child's perspective.
