It's always a speical day for Arvaarluk and his friends when Rocky Parsons flies his plane into their village "smack dab on the Arctic Circle." This time , the bush pilot drops off some strange items that the children have never seen before - trees, or "standing -ups".Never having seen trees, the children in Repulse Bay decide that the funny things delivered to them one year for Christmas must actually be for making baseball bats.
Reviews:
“Kusugak’s first-person narration is warm, energetic, and wonderfully humorous. The story sprawls out anecdotally ... a stand-out season winner.”
