description: Based on a pan-Arctic Inuit traditional story this book continues the familiar trope of the friendly giant while featuring some uniquely Arctic elements and scenery Inukpak was big even for a giant. He loved to walk across the tundra striding over the widest rivers and wading through the deepest lakes. He could walk across the Arctic in just a few days. But being so big and traveling so far Inukpak was often alone. Until one day when he came across a little hunter on the tundra. Thinking that the hunter was a little boy alone on the land Inukpak decided to adopt him. And so from the shoulder of one of the biggest giants to ever roam the Arctic this hunter experiences Inukpak's world.
