ALASKA, 1917 Nutaaq adores her older sister, Aaluk, and the happy world of their close-knit Inupiaq village. When Aaluk goes across the sea to marry a Siberian Inuit man, she gives Nutaaq a gift from her husband's people: two precious cobalt blue beads. Through the months that follow, as a great shadow falls over the village, the beads remind Nutaaq of the people she loves, and hold out hope that she might connect with her sister again. ALASKA, 1989 Blessing's life in the city is unpredictable, with a mother who's sometimes wonderful and sometimes gone. When Mom finally can't take care of her anymore, Blessing is sent to live in a remote Arctic village with a grandmother she barely remembers. In her new home, unfriendly girls whisper in a language she doesn't understand, and Blessing feels like an outsider among her own people. Until she looks in her grandmother's sewing tin--and finds a cobalt blue bead. How might Blessing discover her place in her family and community? And will Nutaaq's hope ever be fulfilled? Tracing four generations of bonds and breakage within one Inupiaq family, Blessing's Bead is a lovely and surprising novel about trauma, survival, and the healing power of culture and stories. 521 2 $a Grades 3 - 6. 650 0 $a Inupiat $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Families $z Alaska $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Villages $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Tundras $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Intergenerational relations $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Influenza Epidemic, 1918-1919 $v Juvenile fiction. 650 0 $a Alcoholism $v Juvenile fiction. 651 0 $a Alaska $x History $y 1867-1959 $v Juvenile fiction. 651 0 $a Alaska $x History $y 1959- $v Juvenile fiction. 655 7 $a Children's audiobooks. $2 lcgft 710 2 $a Playaway Digital Audio, $e issuing body. 710 2 $a Playaway Products, LLC, $e issuing body. 941 $a 1 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509013508.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=83D53CD067FB11EE94078C7E4CECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
