Kaugjagjuk

The legend of Kaugjagjuk—a mistreated orphan who gains the strength to stand up for himself with a little help from the Man of the Moon—is a traditional Inuit tale told throughout the Arctic. Reimagined for modern audiences by emerging Inuit writer Marion Lewis and brought to life by Kim Smith’s beautiful illustrations, this version of the Kaugjagjuk story gives young readers a chance to experience this traditional tale that has been carefully passed from storyteller to storyteller for generations.
