Description


Written by Arnarulunnguaq Audlaluk, who was born in Iqaluit and raised in Grise Fiord, Nunavut and where the sun doesn’t rise for nine months. Arnarulunnguaq attended Nunavut Sivuniksavut and teaches at Umimmak School. Co-written with Rachel Rupke who has a Masters of Education degree from OISE. Illustrated by Amiel Sandland.

Suupi lives in Grise Fiord, Nunavut. After three months of darkness in her community, the sun is finally about to return. Suupi and her friends can’t focus on their schoolwork. Today they will celebrate the return of the sun! There will be a sliding competition, a school performance, and a community feast. But Suupi is nervous about performing with her class in front of so many people. Will she find a way to overcome her fear?

Suupi and the Sun Celebration introduces readers to traditions within this Northern community that commemorate the return of the sun each year. Full colour illustrations throughout.
