“. . . [A]n accomplished and breath-taking rendition.”—CanLit for Little Canadians

“Part morality tale, part cultural history, part mythic testimony, Arnaquq-Baril’s epic rendering is both preservation and celebration of Native traditions.”—Book Dragon

Based on an acclaimed National Film Board of Canada/Inuit Broadcasting Corporation co-produced animated short, The Blind Boy and the Loon is a beautiful retelling of a traditional Inuit story that both explains the origin of the narwhal and cautions listeners against the dangers of seeking revenge. Alethea Arnaquq-Baril's mystical, brooding animation has been adapted to a picture book format that is suitable for all ages. A timeless tale stunningly told.
