Illustrated by
Peter Catalanotto.
In this improbable story about the interconnectedness of the inhabitants of the Alaskan tundra, a young boy and his mother help an otter pup, who helps an injured raven, who in turn helps a caribou calf, and so on--each small, selfless act of kindness from one affects the other's life profoundly. In the end an Arctic fox helps the boy and the circle is complete. Moody illustrations effectively convey the changing seasons.
