Author and illustrator Sylvain Rivard continues the youth series on the anthropology of clothing among Aboriginals with a sixth title, this time interested in parka. The parka, once made of harp or caribou skins, has been part of the Inuit people's sartorial tradition for generations. Carried by hunters, families and even by the spirit of the sea, the parka protects from the cold and magical creatures! Rivard has fun discovering certain spirits or monsters of Inuit mythology, giving a fantastic aspect to this piece of clothing. The parka is a trilingual one, offering versions in French, English and Inuktitut.
