“Qallupilluit: The Takers of Children is an illustrated Inuit folktale written in both English and Inuktitut. Children in the Arctic grow up hearing about the qallupilluit, creatures that live just under the ice, and they know to tread cautiously.

When David goes to play on the ice, a webbed creature emerges and he must fight his way back home. When he realizes that his younger brother had followed him out and is now missing, David must go back to save him and face the chilling creatures below.

Qallupilluit is for ages 12 and up.

Louise Flaherty is a writer and the co-founder of Inhabit Media Inc., an independent Inuk publishing house focused on books and resources by Inuit writers and illustrators.
