Synopsis

Summary

Berry picking is hard work! However, all that work and weather is worth it for two young girls because they get to enjoy time with their ningiuq, their grandma (and get buckets of berries too!). While the main storyline takes place in early fall, other seasonal activities they did while waiting for berry picking, such as fishing and digging for clams, are also described. The charming illustrations and integrated Inuit language make this a fun read for all!
