Building an Igloo

In crisp black-and-white photographs, Ulli Steltzer documents the beauty and precision of an igloo's construction - from stacking blocks of snow to cutting a door - in this informative picture book.

“Steltzer's text, photographs, and subject compel the imagination.” —Kirkus Reviews

“A fascinating, accessible, and respectful glimpse at traditional art.” —The Horn Book

“This book has simple power and great child appeal.... Photos and text work together beautifully to capture the essence of the story: the father and son are at peace with their environment, have come to know its beauty, and will pass on their knowledge from one generation of Inuit to the next.” —Booklist, starred review
