Product Description
by Angeli Perrow (Author)
Once there was a feisty and fearless little girl who had a dream. Inger Knudsen, a Danish girl born in Greenland and raised with the native Inuit, was determined to have her own dogsled and team. In the 1920s, girls did not drive dogsleds - it just wasn't done. But Inger did not let the accepted views of the time hold her back. Dogsled Dreamer is the true story of how her dream came true. It is also about the importance of community, of people caring for each other. This charming picture book will delight and educate children, ages 4-8.
