Review Quotes:
"Folklore invitingly told and presented for a young audience." - Kirkus Reviews
"With its significant potential for generating discussion, this is a perfect book for school and library settings." - Quill & Quire
"This handsomely illustrated work provides one explanation of how and why loons and ravens look the way they do. This folk story is a good one, and it contains elements that directly derive from the region (such as an iglu, a stone lamp and the ever-present Arctic landscape) and are central to the plot." - Canadian Teacher Magazine
