The origin of day and night /
Ikuutaq Rumbolt, Paula, 1990-
The origin of day and night / by Paula Ikuutaq Rumbolt ; illustrated by Lenny Lishchenko. - 29 pages : color illustrations ; 23 cm
In this Inuit tale, the actions of a hare and a fox change the Arctic forever by creating day and night. In very early times, there was no night or day and words spoken by chance could become real. When a hare and a fox meet and express their longing for light and darkness, their words are too powerful to be denied. Passed orally from storyteller to storyteller for hundreds of years, this beautifully illustrated story weaves together elements of an origin story and a traditional animal tale, giving young readers a window into Inuit mythology.
