My son and I enjoyed learning about this kid's life in Alaska. We knew very little about Eskimo or modern Alaskan culture, although my son knew way more about Alaska's climate and seasons than I did. We discussed several different cultural norms as a result of reading this together, and we both learned something new and interesting. ( )
