Biographical note
Elisha Kilabuk, the youngest of fourteen siblings, was born and raised in Iqaluit. He learned traditional stories from his mother, Muckpaloo. Muckpaloo had a great memory for stories, which she learned from her father who lived on the east coast of Hudson Bay. Elisha is a celebrated cultural performer and storyteller.
Joy Ang is an illustrator living in Edmonton who has worked in both the comic and gaming industry. Recently she has been creating art for children’s books as well as self-publishing a comic anthology called The Anthology Project. When she’s not creating art she’s either enjoying board games with friends, reading a graphic novel, or figuring out what her next project might be.
All Inuit know about the qalupaliit, strange creatures that live under the sea ice and carry away unsuspecting children on their backs. But when one bright young orphan strays too close to the ice, he soon learns that while qalupaliit may be very scary, they are also easily tricked.
- We worked closely with the author to illustrate the qalupalik exactly as his mother had described it to him.
- A Quill & Quire Book of the Year
- Many Inuit traditional stories have never been written down before. Many of the stories that we publish have never been written down before, having existed for centuries as tales passed orally from generation to generation.This book provides a glimpse into Inuit culture and also represents the preservation of oral history that may otherwise have been lost.
