Baseball Bats for Christmas

by Michael Kusugak
illustrated by Vladyana Krykorka

In 1955, Rocky Parsons, the bush pilot, drops off a bunch of Christmas trees in Repulse Bay much to the delight of the kids who have never before seen a tree. What do you do with a bunch of splidly trees, the purposes of which arenot immediately apparent? With a little ingenuity, you can have so much fun.

Reviews

“Kusugak’s first-person narration is warm, energetic, and wonderfully humorous. The story sprawls out anecdotally

… a stand-out season winner.”
