A review by jessalynn_librarian
Arctic White by Danna Smith

2.0

May 2016 - I'm torn on this one. On the surface, the story is sweet and lovely and celebrates life in the arctic winter - but how accurate is this depiction? In the absence of notes about the life of actual people living in the arctic, or the identification of a specific culture for these characters, it can only feel inauthentic. The Kirkus review sums it up perfectly - "Despite lovely art, a stereotypically generic and romanticized portrayal of indigenous people."
