From the bestselling authors of It's Time for Bed.
Celebrating the traditional practise of gathering Arctic berries and other Inuit traditional land uses, this cute story of determination and enjoying the outdoors is perfect for grandkids to share with their grandparents.
Two sisters have waited all spring and summer to pick berries with their ningiuq, their grandmother. They've gone fishing, dug for clams, and by the time late summer arrives, it's finally time for berries!
Ninguiq and the girls head out to pick berries, rain or shine—nothing will stop Ningiuq! Through driving rain and early autumn snow the girls and Ningiuq pick as many sweet berries as their buckets can hold. The hard work is all worth it to enjoy the delicious treats Ninguiq creates with her berries.
The authors share a wholesome look at a contemporary Inuit family participating in traditional activities. . .The simple, descriptive language keeps the story flowing, while embedded Inuit words are explained in the glossary. The colourful illustrations provide a detailed glimpse into traditional food-gathering activities and the land and plant life through spring, summer, and fall. This resource supports Social Studies and Science learning, seasons, connection to land, family, and the Far North.
