Tuk and the Whale
by Raquel Rivera
Illustrated by Mary Jane Gerber
This story is set on the eastern coast of Baffin Island in the early decades of the 1600s. Told from the point of view of a young Inuit boy, Tuk, it imagines what might have happened if the people of Tuk’s Baffin Island winter camp had encountered European whalers, blown far north from their usual whaling route. Includes glossary and historical notes.
