Description

Joanasie loves to live in Kinngait, Nunavut. His community may be small, but it is never boring! Joanasie rides his bike in the summer and has snowball fights under the northern lights in the winter. And don’t forget about Kinngait Studios, home of the talented artists that make Kinngait the “Capital of Inuit Art.” Join Joanasie as he explains why Kinngait is a great place to live in this bilingual picture book.
