The Origin of Day and Night

In this retelling of an Inuit myth, maintaining its lyrical and engaging style with a mythical tone, we follow the Arctic fox, Tiri, and Ukaliq, the Arctic hare, as they argue over whether the world should be in eternal darkness or daylight. As they each have their own weaknesses and strengths in one or the other, we see through whimsical illustrations that they explore balance and harmony that works for both of them.
