Avinngaq the lemming is excited to learn about Christmas and presents under the tree, but…“what is a tree?” There aren’t any in the Arctic (as a prefacing note states), so Avinngaq enlists her animal friends’ help to find one. Seaweed, a flower, berries, Arctic willow—not trees, Qimmiq the sled dog says. Avinnagaq sadly sits on a piece of driftwood—“You found a tree!” The cheery cartoon illustrations bring warmth to the chilly winter setting. The board book format seems unecessary for the story’s age level, but this is a friendly introduction to Arctic flora and Inuktitut animal names (glossary and pronunciation guide appended).
From the ">November/December 2024 issue of The Horn Book Magazine.
