About the Book :


Shingebiss, the little merganser duck, could always find plenty to eat.

In all season, the great Lake was full of fish for him to catch. But one bitter cold year, the lake freezes over as solid as stone, and Shingebiss must find a way to fish throug the thick ice.
And to do that, he must face the fierce Winter Maker.

Gracefully told and illustrated with vigorous woodcuts, this ancient Ojibwe story captures all power of winter on the coldest of northern nights and all the courage of a small being who refuses to see winter as his enemy.

Passed down for a generation by a people who perceive nature as a teacher, this sacred story shows that those who follow the ways of Shingebiss will always have plenty to eat, no matter how hard the great wind of Winter Maker blows.
