Very Last First Time

Today I'll share another of my favorite picture books that I experienced with my children in our home school.
Very Last First Time is about a young Inuit girl, in a northern Canadian village, who goes collecting mussels from the bottom of the frozen sea. Every winter in the past Eva has gone mussel collecting with her mother. This winter she is able to go alone. It's her very last first time to walk on the bottom of the sea, under the ice, alone.
Your brief review makes me wish my grandson was 6, not 19! It sounds like a wonderful book.
