Reach for this book when your child is grappling with a sense of being 'different' or when they are stepping into unexpected leadership roles that set them apart from their peers. This mythic, atmospheric tale follows Caribou, a young woman living in a frozen northern landscape who is tasked with raising a magical 'reindeeer-man' child. As the child grows and their bond deepens, Caribou must navigate the complexities of love, isolation, and her eventual destiny as a visionary leader for her people. It is a sophisticated story about the sacrifices made for the sake of one's community and the beauty of unconventional relationships. While it contains high-fantasy elements and some romantic longing, it serves as a powerful metaphor for finding one's voice and purpose in a world that might not initially understand you. It is ideal for mature middle-grade readers who appreciate lyrical prose and stories that feel like discovered folklore.
