Description

Authors Shawna Thomson and Nadia Sammurtok, an Inuit writer and educator originally from Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, and illustrated by artist Valentina Jaskina.

Spencer the Siksik is excited for the first day of school! When he gets to class, the teacher introduces a new student: Gary the snow goose. Spencer doesn't want to let Gary play with him and his friends. He thinks Gary will just confuse things because he is new. But when Spencer sees that Gary is upset, he remembers what his grandmother taught him about being welcoming.

This book is the first in a series that teaches children about Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit principles, or "IQ" principles, which are a set of communal laws that focus on the ways one is expected to behave. This book teaches the IQ principle of Tunnganarniq: Being Welcoming.
