Fish-Boy, An Inuit Folk Tale as told by Vanita Oelschlager. Art by Mike Blanc. Vanita Books.
An Inuit folk tale about the fish-boy who comes from the water and has no arms but convinces a fisherman to adopt him, then helps bring a wealth of fish to him and his village. Accepting an invitation to another island, Fish-boy magically defeats an opponent who unfairly challenges him and leaves these unfriendly, inhospitable and unkind people to their strange, but deserving, fate. Highly recommend. Thanks to NetGalley and Vanita Books for providing this ebook for review.

This is such a charming little book! All 25 pages are beautifully illustrated, with striking colours and likable characters, and the story itself is educational in an unobtrusive, and even humorous way. What a reader may take from this book is the message of spreading love and hospitality, and equality and acceptance of people who are 'different'.
