The text, with its spare explanations of words including inuksuk, nanuq, and umiaq, provides a glimpse into the early Inuit way of life. There's little cohesion in the text; each concept feels isolated. A short introduction and a pronunciation guide provide a bit more context. The volume includes vibrant, swirling double-page-spread illustrations and smaller spot art.
