Reseña del libro "Greenlandic Christmas Stories: Legends of the Mother of the Sea, the Giant Wolf and the Northern Lights, Illustrated Tales for Kids Ages 8-12 (The Long Night Library) (en Inglés)"
Christmas around the world for kids ages 8 to 12, starting at the very top of it: six illustrated winter adventures from Greenland, to read on their own or share aloud with family. A mother beneath the sea whose long hair tangles with everything people waste. A wolf as tall as a house that makes a small boy strong. And northern lights that come down to see who whistled. In Greenlandic Christmas Stories, the oldest tales of the long polar night meet children of today, in real towns, during Greenland's Christmas season: from the week the Christmas trees arrive by ship, past the orange paper stars and the choir on Christmas Eve, to the morning the stars come down. Each chapter pairs a brief introduction to a Greenlandic legend or tradition with an original short story inspired by it, so readers discover the folklore and then step inside the adventure. Most of these figures are far older than Christmas; only the masked mitaartut truly belong to the season. Six stories: meet Sassuma Arnaa, the Mother of the Sea; a tupilak carving that will not keep still; the qivittoq on the hill; the arsarnerit, the northern lights; the amaroq, the giant wolf; and the silent mitaartut. A full-page color illustration opens every chapter, plus smaller illustrations throughout. Four illustrated mazes inspired by the stories. Real towns, real kids: stories set from Nanortalik in the south to Qaanaaq in the far north. For independent readers ages 8 to 12 and families who enjoy reading aloud together. Expect spooky encounters, laugh-out-loud moments, and warm, hopeful endings. Perfect as a stocking stuffer for a curious 10-year-old, as a Christmas Eve book, or as an Advent read-aloud to share one story at a time. Give a young reader a star in the window and six new stories from the top of the world.
