The vendre Little Folk by Levi Illuitok NEUF

This traditional story, retold by Kugaaruk Elder Levi Illuitok, tells the tale of a vendre Inuk boy who is adopted by little folk -a magical race of small Arctic people called inugarulliit. The boys adopted parents finally allow him to go hunting, where he catches a lemming. The little folk use their abilities to turn the lemming into a polar bear, and the catch is stored at their iglu. The boys parents are proud that their son can provide lots of meat to share with the community. This is a magical introduction to a traditional Inuit story for young readers.
