Summary

Pakak est dans un nouveau foyer d’accueil, avec de nouvelles personnes, de nouveaux aliments et de nouvelles odeurs. Se sentant seul et incertain, Pakak trouve du réconfort dans un secret révélé par sa anaanattiaq, sa grand-mère, et dans la conviction qu’il est aimé, peu importe la distance qui le sépare de sa famille. Écrit comme un cadeau pour les enfants inuits en famille d’accueil par Mary et Kevin Qamaniq-Mason, ce livre plein de tendresse est imprégné de références culturelles qui toucheront les enfants qui, comme Pakak, font face à l’inconnu.
