Description

Lucy loves living in Arctic Bay, Nunavut. There are so many things to do in each season! In the winter during “the great darkness,” Lucy likes watching the northern lights. She is always excited to welcome the sun back in the spring. In the summer, Lucy can’t wait to go blueberry picking, camping, and eat pissi. Follow along with Lucy in this bilingual picture book as she takes readers through the seasons and shares all her favourite things about living in beautiful Arctic Bay.
