one of my students sat down with EAGLE DRUMS by @Nasugraq and five pages later told me "this might be the best book I have ever read." and that THAT is the kind of moment you hug tight and hold onto.
Freezing temps, and snow in July seems to be a regular thing now for us in the Arctic. Yesterday it was raining and snowing at the same time. The times we live in!
One of my ‘little joys’ that instantly gives me a dose of happiness, is learning what people name their animals. I honestly think some people excel at this talent. lol. Sometimes the names just fit so well and tell you a lot about that animal and the relationship.
EAGLE DRUMS has been selected as a 2024 Bank Street Best Book of the Year, with a distinction for outstanding merit <3 I am so thankful for the honor! Quyanaq!
