Reach for this book when your child feels like an outsider or struggles to show their true worth to peers who might judge them by appearances. It follows Siuluk, the last of the Tuniq giants, who is a gentle soul living in isolation near an Inuit community. While the villagers view him with suspicion and doubt his legendary strength, Siuluk eventually finds an opportunity to prove his capabilities through an act of quiet service rather than aggression. This story is an excellent tool for discussing the difference between being a 'show-off' and having true inner confidence. It is particularly appropriate for elementary-aged children who are navigating social hierarchies and learning how to stand tall in their own identity. Parents will appreciate how the haunting amber illustrations create a reflective mood, perfect for winding down and opening up a deeper conversation about empathy and the Inuit oral tradition.
