A review by kittykult
The Origin of Day and Night by Paula Ikuutaq Rumbolt

4.0

The Origin of Day and Night is a retelling of an Inuit folktale about two animals, a hare and a fox, who rely respectively on daylight and moonlight to find their food sources. As a result, there is conflict as neither can agree on whether it should be light or dark. They eventually decide to share and that is how day and night were created. The black and white illustrations are breathtaking and really bring out the atmosphere of the story and the duality of night vs day. This is an excellent bedtime story and great for teaching children about other cultures and folktales.
