BOOK SUMMARY
Brett takes the reader into the the shimmering ice, snow and deep blue seas of the Arctic in her latest picture book.

BOOK SYNOPSIS
Aloo-ki glances up from fishing and sees her sled dogs floating off on an ice floe. She races after them and comes upon an igloo. Being a curious girl, she goes inside only to find no one home. That’s because the polar bear family who lives there is out walking while their breakfast cools off. Aloo-ki eats some soup, tries on their boots, and finally crawls into the smallest bed for a nap. Meanwhile, Papa, Mama, and Baby Bear see her dogs adrift, swim out to rescue them and return home to find Aloo-ki fast asleep in Baby Bear’s bed.

Jan traveled to the far North to meet the Inuit people and see the amazing land where they live. Dramatic illustrations capture the shimmering ice, snow and deep blue seas of the Arctic, and when Jan adds a raven-haired Inuit girl and her appealing huskies, an endearing family of polar bears, and playful Arctic animals in the borders, the result is one of her most beautiful picture books.

The decorative Inuit patterns and clothing Jan uses throughout are sure to attract adult fans and collectors while children will want to listen to and look at this exciting version of a well-loved story over and over again.

STUDENT BOOK REVIEWS

FarmyardAgency, University of Louisiana at Laf
Lafayette LA Once again Jan B. delivers with a truly unique reading experience for juvenile and even adult(!) readers. The care given to each of her characters is impressive and you never feel like you're reading a book that sticks to some sort of formulaic model.

While the characters are cute and keep the attention of kids, there is also something to be said about the plot. Sometimes in children's books the plot acts as a peripheral when compared to the moral or "lesson" the author may be trying to get across to the reader through the characters. Not so here; an intriguing story with its own share of twists and turns shows how in control Brett is of her story and characters.

Well done!
