(4) K-3 Translated by Jean Kusugak. Illustrated by Ippiksaut Friesen. Not so much a story as discrete snapshots of the sister collaborators' community-oriented life growing up in Canada's Nunavut: eating raw caribou meat, watching the northern lights, etc. With text printed three ways--in English, the Inuktitut language, and its romanized transliteration--and illustrated with uneven but intriguing watercolor and acrylic paintings, the book may find a small but appreciative niche audience.

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.
