Written in a straightforward yet evocative style, Perkins employs a blend of precise observations and whimsical storytelling, which not only entertains but also imparts essential knowledge about the Inuit way of life. The narrative is deeply contextualized within the early 20th-century American children's literature movement, characterized by a growing interest in cultural diversity and education through storytelling, positioning Perkins as a pioneering figure in this genre. Lucy Fitch Perkins, an accomplished author and illustrator, was deeply influenced by her travels and her interactions with diverse cultures. Born in 1865, Perkins dedicated herself to producing literature that both entertained and educated young readers.

Readers seeking a captivating adventure that immerses them in the traditions and values of the Inuit community will find "The Eskimo Twins" both enlightening and enjoyable. Perkins' gentle yet insightful narrative invites curiosity and inspires children and adults alike to appreciate cultural diversity, making it a timeless read for those interested in humanity's rich tapestry.

FINDING THEIR MISSING GRANDMA   WILL BE  NO SMALL FEAT!    Rubi and her much more daring--and skateboard-obsessed--brother, Quinn, are visiting their grandmother on beautiful Vashon Island for the weekend. It's the first time they've taken the ferry from Seattle by themselves. But weirdly, when they arrive, Nana is nowhere to be found!   Then their Uncle James lets them in on a little secret:  Bigfoot  may have been spotted! And their Nana isn't  any  old grandma--she's the most famous Bigfoot hunter around! Trouble is, Nana should've returned by now. And nobody in all of Puget Sound has seen her! At least... nobody  human.   Rubi and Quinn will have to follow the footprints (and scat!), crack the clues, and rely on each other to find their Nana and bring her home... that is, unless Bigfoot finds them  first !
