Way Back Then is yet another Inhabit Media release (I have been going through as many as I can find at the local library).
The story of a father telling his children stories works really well here. It uses the framework to introduce many stories briefly (and the twist at the end that he had always fallen asleep without hearing the full stories himself was delightful). Most of the stories he tells throughout are ones that I was already familiar with, but there were a couple that were entirely new to me. Germaine Arnaktauyok is a wonderful artist, and this is probably my favourite example of her work that I have seen. The cover art was everything I never knew I needed.
I definitely recommend this for any age, particularly for people who have read a couple of the stories in full before.

A great intro to Inuit stories and language for children. I appreciated the glossary with pronunciation guide at the beginning. This is the third book I have read published by Inhabit now and I’m eager to see more.
