Sukaq loves to drift off to sleep listening to his mother tell him stories. His favourite story is the tale of how a raven created the world. But this time, as his mother begins to tell the story and his eyelids become heavy, he is suddenly whisked away on the wings of the raven to ride along as the entire world is formed! This traditional legend from Inuit storyteller Roy Goose is brought to life through co-author Kerry McCluskey's jubilant retelling. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

First heard by Inuit elder Roy Goose from his great-grandmother, Mamie Mamayauk, and then retold to journalist Kerry McCluskey, who is also the author of Tulugaq: An Oral History of Ravens, which explores the role of this bird in Canadian Arctic society, Sukaq and the Raven is an engaging retelling of the Inuit creation story. It puts the child listener, in the form of Sukaq, front and center in the storytelling process, and emphasizes the importance of dreaming, and of the imagination, when listening to traditional tales (or any story). The artwork by Korean-born illustrator Soyeon Kim, which utilizes both sketched and painted elements, has a dream-like quality that suites the text, with a tiny Sukaq riding along on the back of the giant creator-raven. Recommended to all young folklore enthusiasts, and to any children interested in Inuit culture. For my part, I came away with a desire to read McCluskey's longer work about ravens, and their cultural significance in Arctic culture. ( )
