Review Quotes: "A sports columnist for the Toronto Sun has written a beautiful tale of the Inuit people to explain the creation of the first "Inuksuk," stone figures used for both practical and spiritual purposes. In his story, a young Inuit girl uses stone figures to help lost caribou hunters find their way home."
