Children's Picture Books - Inuik

Inuik is the working title for this story. I can't reveal the plot of this story either. It is a deceptively simple story, but with a great metaphor. A single object takes on great depths of meaning when in great adversity the object persists, keeping alive the one person who relies totally on its strength. A young Inuit boy takes on loneliness with such great courage that he becomes great inspiration for the entire country.

This is another story that will take me years to illustrate, and will require a trip to the far North for research; research into the topography of the North and the culture of the Northern peoples, hopefully not during mosquito season.
