Description

Authors Shawna Thomson and Nadia Sammurtok, an Inuit writer and educator originally from Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, and illustrated by artist Valentina Jaskina tell the story of who Spencer can't wait to go outside and play with his friends. He wants to play basketball and practice for the tryouts at school. But Gary the Snow Goose doesn't want to play basketball with him. Gary wants to play street hockey. The two friends can't come to an agreement. When Spencer sees that there is a reason why Gary doesn't want to play basketball, he remembers what his grandmother taught him about showing respect.

This book incorporates the Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ) principle of Inuuqatigiitsiarniq: respecting others, relationships, and caring for people. IQ principles are a set of communal laws that focus on the ways one is expected to behave.
