Way Back Then cover

A perfect introduction to traditional Inuit myths, told as a bedtime story.

Kudlu's children will not go to sleep until he tells them a story of long ago, of giants, animals disguised as humans, little people the size of lemmings, and all of the other wonderful things that existed way back then.

“A bilingual sampler—cold of setting but warm of spirit.” — ★ Kirkus

Kudlu's children will not go to sleep until he tells them a story of long ago. Before they will shut their eyes, they want to hear about a time long before Kudlu was born, a time when the world was magic. Before they can sleep, they want to hear about giants, animals disguised as humans, little people the size of lemmings, and all of the other wonderful things that existed way back then.
