Book
The little folk / by Levi Illuitok ; illustrated by Steve James.
"This traditional story, retold by Kugaaruk Elder Levi Illuitok, tells the tale of a Inuk boy who is adopted by little folk--a magical race of small Arctic people called inugarulliit. The boy's adopted parents finally allow him to go hunting, where he catches a lemming. The little folk use their abilities to turn the lemming into a polar bear, and the catch is stored at their iglu. The boy's parents are proud that their son can provide lots of meat to share with the community. This is a magical introduction to a traditional Inuit story for young readers."-- Provided by publisher.
