Baseball Bats For Christmas
by Michael Kusugak
illustrated by Vladyana Krykorka
In 1955, Rocky Parsons, the bush pilot, drops off a bunch of Christmas trees in Repulse Bay much to the delight of the kids who have never before seen a tree. What do you do with a bunch of splidly trees, the purposes of which arenot immediately apparent? With a little ingenuity, you can have so much fun.
Summary
Never having seen trees, the children in Repulse Bay decide that the funny things delivered to them one year for Christmas must actually be for making baseball bats.

Reviews
“Kusugak’s first-person narration is warm, energetic, and wonderfully humorous. The story sprawls out anecdotally
… a stand-out season winner.”
