- Synopsis
- One Arctic morning, Kumak looked out the window and saw the sun rising over the frozen river. "Ahhh, spring," said Kumak. "The days are long. The nights are short and the ice is still hard. Good day for fish." Eager to try out Uncle Aglu's amazing hooking stick, Kumak goes out ice fishing with his family. Kumak waits patiently and finally, his line twitches. He pulls but can't land the fish. Everyone in the village joins in to help, but Kumak is sucked into the hole. They pull again, and out Kumak flies with a string of fish, each holding onto the fish in front of it. With a catch big enough to feed the whole village, they head home exclaiming, "Good day for fish." The playful art, text, and notes on fishing methods provide children with a window into Inupiat culture in this follow-up to Kumak's House."
