After his parents are brutally murdered, Ahiahia is raised by his grandmother in a camp surrounded by enemies. His grandmother knows that eventually the camp will turn on Ahiahia, just as it did his parents, so she chants a protection chant over the clothing that she lovingly sews for him, over the amulet and necklace she gives him, even over the dog that is his companion. When he is attacked, Ahiahia must use his agility, hunting skills, and the protection imparted by his grandmother to stay alive. This traditional story is retold by Kugaaruk Elder Levi Illuitok, and illustrated in a comic book style by Nate Wells, giving life to an ancient story for new generations to enjoy.

Recensioner i media

"Viscerally powerful and entrancing." * Kirkus * "Efficient text by Illuitok emphasizes Ahiahias fear and ever-present feeling of unease, while intuitively providing a glimpse into a community experiencing upheaval amid times of change and loss." * Publishers Weekly * The narrative moves along at a quick pace, helped by Wellss expressive illustrations. Inuit culture infuses the story, as well as the graphics from the scenery to the clothing to grandmothers facial tattoo. Sharing stories that the ancestors told of traditions, myths, and legends keeps the culture alive and demonstrates the power of kinship, relationships, and survival. * Quill & Quire *
