Críticas

"Steltzer's text, photographs, and subject compel the imagination." --Kirkus Reviews

"A fascinating, accessible, and respectful glimpse at traditional art." --The Horn Book

"This book has simple power and great child appeal.... Photos and text work together beautifully to capture the essence of the story: the father and son are at peace with their environment, have come to know its beauty, and will pass on their knowledge from one generation of Inuit to the next." --Booklist, starred review
