Someone asked for book recommendations for stories describing a different culture. This book - Very Last First Time - immediately came to mind. This definently makes the Snider Approved Book list.
A simple story, wonderfully unique pictures, and a setting no child from my family would even think exists. Eva Padlyat, a young Inuit girl, has helped her mother collect mussels. But this time is different it is the very last first time she is allowed to go alone under the ice. She climbs under the ice and walks along the seabed with only a candle as light. Of course the candle goes outand she is alone in the darkness.
The story is fascinating and not scary. All my kids enjoyed this book but my daughter were particulary fascinted by the young girls adventure.
*Snider Approved Book - Read This for how a book earns the coveted SAB
