A bilingual (English and Inuktitut) traditional Inuit story from the North Baffin region.
In the Arctic, children are warned about the dangers of mysterious beings that lurk under the ice--the qallupilluit. But one child does not heed the warnings. . . .
David heads to the beach to play on the ice. But he quickly realizes he's not alone. A webbed hand emerges from the water, and soon David finds himself cornered by sea monsters. David uses his wits and agility to escape them. But when he makes it back to his family, he learns that his little brother is missing--and had followed him to the ice. David races back to the ice to look for his brother, but will he be able to find him and escape the menacing qallupilluit a second time?
Based on creatures from traditional Inuit stories, Qallupilluit: The Takers of Children is a chilling cautionary tale.
