Arctic Adventures: Tales from the Lives of Inuit Artists by Raquel Rivera, illustrated by Jirina Marton

From the back of the book:
In this unique, multifaceted book author Raquel Rivera combines story and biography to illuminate the lives of four Inuit artists - Pudlo Pudlat, Jessie Oonark, Kenojuak Ashevak and Lazzarusie Ishulutak - providing young readers with an introduction to Inuit culture past and present. Based on stories told by the artists, Rivera has shaped these tales so that children can learn about these exceptional individuals. Extreme weather, hunger, magic, hunting and the land are themes that resonate for Inuit who live in the far north.
