Thank you Inhabit Media and NetGalley for the lovely book. I love fairy tales and legends. This Arctic story tells the tale of the origin of day and night. When a a hare and fox disagree over a preference for light and dark, day and night are born. With fun illustrations and an interesting story, this would be an excellent picture book for young readers.

An interesting pourquoi tale explaining how day and night came to be. The fox and the hare both wanted to hunt for food, one in light and one in dark. They had to figure out a way to share the time between both. This is a wonderful addition to a folktale collection looking for another tale.

The Origin of Day and Night is a beautifully illustrated Inuit tale about how the cycle of day and night came to be. I had never heard this tale before and it is a really lovely story about a fox and a hare who have to work together to make sure they both get to eat because Fox eats at night but Hare eats during the day. The illustrations are sparsely colored and suit the story perfectly.
