Tanna's Puppy
Tanna's Puppy is the third installment of authors Rachel and Sean QitsualikTinsley's acclaimed series of children's books that explore Rachel's childhood experiences with Arctic animals.
Training dogs has been a strong Inuit tradition for generations. Sled dogs in Inuit communities are valued working animals with a clear and important purpose. Tanna has always known that dogs are not pets. They are not meant to live in houses. Then one day, Tanna is given a puppy to raise. Tanna is sure her father will not let her keep Dandy as a pet. She eventually convinces her father to let Dandy into the house, just as a test. Will Dandy's love for her owners win Father over to having a dog as a pet?
A heartwarming tale of the unique realities of Northern life and the changing definitions of what it means to be a family.
Praise for the Tanna's Animals series!
"Based on Burt Awardwinning, Inuit-Cree author Rachel Qitsualik-Tinsley's childhood memories of growing up on Baffin Island, this outstanding picture book shares essential teachings on the importance of responsibility, patience, and respect." Quill & Quire, Starred Review
