J'ai opté pour la version audio, donc je ne peux pas juger la qualité des illustrations. C'est une belle histoire qui nous permet d'en apprendre davantage sur une technique de pêche traditionnelle que je ne connaissais pas.

De plus, l'album est aussi racontée en inuktitut. Normalement, je survole ces passages à l'écrit, car ce n'est pas une langue que je comprends, mais je trouve intéressant de regarder leur alphabet. Toutefois, j'ai pris le temps d'écouter l'histoire dans cette langue afin de l'apprécier. don

This is a really cute book. Charlene Chua's illustrations are as adorable as ever. The story is a great way to learn about arctic fishing for those less in the know, and a sweet story for those who are. It is also a sweet story about relationship with a grandma and a sweet story about community sharing.

Two children go to visit their grandmother. Then they decide to go on an outdoor adventure. Readers, along with the children, will learn a lot about ice fishing. At the end of the day when they have caught more char than they can eat, they learn a lesson in generosity.
I like a lot about this book, including everything I already got mentioned. I appreciated that it is a woman taking the children to learn traditional put door activities. The back matter contains a glossary of Inuktitut terminology used in the book and images with accompanying information about the fishing tools used.
Th illustrations are a bit too cartoonish for my liking, but the publisher, Inhabit Media, is an Iqaluit company, so what do I know?
