Review # 1 was written on 2013-01-22 00:00:00 Matthew Daluz No, this does not enhance your knowledge of Alaskan, Greenland, Aleutian, Arctic Circle cultures, BUT it does explore loss and grief that comes with not being able to express your inner gifts and the trans formative process loss and isolation can provide to the artist and the budding artist in every child. The idea of qaarstiluni is beautiful and even though I read this book to my children and then forgot about it, the message, I did not. To this day, "waiting for something to burst" helps me get through the worst times in the creative process, and as a child, it is comforting to know that one day they too will find something beautiful burst out of themselves.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-01-08 00:00:00 Stacey Kava I felt good as I read this book. Not stressed. It allowed me to see a glimpse of a world I love through another's eyes. Steiner brings the reader closer to nature, while also showing us what it means to be an artist. I'd be careful when choosing a time to read this to a child. Omu's life is so different from ours, that the kids could easily close down when listening to this story and decide they don't like books about whales/life in the arctic. This will remain on my shelves (real and virtual).
