3.0

Short, wordless book for early readers with beautiful illustrations of a grandchild watching their grandmother light a qulliq. This would've benefitted from an end page to provide some context about what's being depicted. I thought the qulliq was some sort of stove for cooking, but after further reading (outside the book), I learned it's a soapstone lamp.
