NEW YORK—May 15, 2018—Morgan James Kids’ new release, Nanook by Larry Hulsey and Austin Hulsey, illustrated by Kyle McCloud, is the touching story of a father and son that embark on an exciting adventure, only to run into danger along the way.
Nanook and his father Babook are Inuits living in the Alaskan tundra. Their story is set in the 1940’s, when Nanook was just twelve years old, and hunting and fishing were the only way to feed his family. Nanook watches as his father prepares for a fishing trip and is excited when Babook decides he’s finally old enough to go off on his own. Before he goes, Babook warns Nanook to stay in Big Bend, a safe area free from bears. However, Nanook ignores his father’s warning, roams too far, and soon finds himself in a dangerous situation. When Babook rescues him, he demonstrates a father’s unconditional love, and Nanook learns a valuable lesson.
Written by father-son author team Larry and Austin Hulsey, Nanook is a story Larry told Austin for years at bedtime. Austin has since passed it down to his children. It was Austin’s daughter who inspired them to turn the tale into a children’s book for others to enjoy. Through Nanook’s brush with danger and his father’s reaction, Nanook teaches children an important message about obedience and respect for elders while reflecting the unbreakable bond between a father and son.
Having been passed down for decades as a bedtime story, parents love sharing Nanook with their children. The charming Inuit story with beautiful and vibrant illustrations will captivate young readers, allowing them to imagine they are part of the adventure. Entertaining and uplifting, Nanook resonates with parents and children alike and will continue to do so for generations to come.
