Author and illustrator Sylvain Rivard continues the children's series on the anthropology of clothing among Aboriginal people with a sixth title, this time focusing on the parka. The parka, once made from seal or caribou skins, has been part of the clothing tradition of the Inuit people for generations. Worn by hunters, families and even the spirit of the sea, the parka protects from the cold and magical creatures! Rivard enjoys revealing certain spirits or monsters from Inuit mythology, giving a fantastic aspect to this piece of clothing. The parka is trilingual, offering versions in French, English as well as Inuktitut.
