Books like Baseball Bats for Christmas by Michael Kusugak


During the winter of 1955, when Christmas first brought a fresh delivery of trees to the remote village of Repulse Bay, the local Inuit children saw more than just ornaments. They transformed the first six trees into sturdy baseball bats, infusing their sports play with the holiday’s joy. This touching story highlights community creativity, the importance of play, and the special bond between young people and their environment in a snowy Arctic setting.
