"Akagaq, the youngest brother of three, is confident but forgetful. When he gets caught in a blizzard he makes a tent, but it is no match for the powerful wind. Trapped in the cold, Akagaq is helped by his brother Tiriaq. Tiriaq digs into a snowdrift for shelter, but the wind is still too strong and blows out their lamp. Akkiutaq, the eldest brother, arrives to save them, and brings them to the iglu he has carefully built. The wind threatens to destroy the iglu as well, but will Akkiutaq's shelter be strong enough to keep the brothers safe? Reminiscent of the classic Three Little Pigs tale, this story shows how hard work can pay off. The brothers learn an important lesson about paying attention to their Elders, and taking care in what they do."--, Back cover
