  The Most Amazing Bird

  Michael Arvaarluk Kusugak, Andrew Qappik (Illustrator)

  When Aggataa goes for a cold winter walk with her grandmother, she notices the tulugarguat, or ravens, the only birds who haven’t gone south. She thinks they are ugly in coats of feathers that don’t fit, but by spring, when many other kinds of birds appear, she connects with one small raven in particular.
