This is an adventure story of youth that describes the imaginary travel of a Lebanese boy, Hadi, on a snow carpet to the North Pole and the country of the Inuit people.
The author did actually make the visit to Baffin Island, and besides firsthand information, she collected from accounts of old and young Inuit people she met, and places she visited. She enriched the text with readings from many books and specialized publications which describe various aspects of life in Baffin, (Iqaluit is the capital), schooling, fishing, the Inuktitut language, and their cooking and eating traditions and habits, etc.
The visit was organized by the PEN Club of Canada.
