Debbie have you seen LITTLE WHALE by Roy A Peratrovich Jr

This morning as I started to read the Summer 2016 issue of Children & Libraries a book cover caught my eye (thats it, to the right). Inside the front cover is a page of new books for children and young adults. Little Whale is displayed.

Heres the synopsis:

Keet, a ten-year-old Tlingit Indian boy, stows away for a voyage on his father�s canoe . . . and soon finds himself caught in the middle of a wild seastorm. The story carries him far from his home village, and when he makes land, he winds up right in the middle of a dangerous dispute between two Indian clans. The story of how he copes with these surprises and extricates himself from danger is dramatic and unforgettable.

And it�s mostly true. Roy Peratrovich here builds a wonderful children�s tale on the bones of a story his own grandfather passed down. His accompanying illustrations bring the people and landscapes of Alaska�to say nothing of the adventures!�to stunning life, drawing young readers into a long-gone time when the whims of nature and man could suddenly test a boy�s courage.

Im definitely interested in this one! The author is a member of the Raven Clan of the Tlingit Tribe of Southeast Alaska. Check out his bio. Ill get a copy and be back with a review.
