Inuksuk Journey, a non-fiction book for older children, is about artist Mary Wallace's summer trip in Nunavut. It is written as a series of journal entries and includes numerous photographs and sketches. Additionally, each section opens with a painting representing some aspect of her journey. A common element in all the sections is the inuksuk. Wallace describes different ones she encounters on her journey and explains their significance in Inuit culture.

This is a beautiful book that has won several awards, and the detailed narrative provides a good sense of what Wallace's journey through the north was like. However, it may be the case that the artwork and recurring inuksuk theme appeal more to adults than children. My 10-year-old daughter told me that this book did not hold her attention as much as other non-fiction books she'd read recently. Nevertheless, she did say she felt she learned a lot about life in Nunavut. ( )
