Home Is Where the Reindeer Are

Witness the year of a reali-life Sámi reindeer herder in northern Sweden through the eyes of a six-year-old child

We let the reindeer go every morning. I listen to the thousands of bells tinkling, the clicking they make with their hooves, and the grunts as the mothers and calves search for each other. And I think . . . Home is where the reindeer are.

Follow a year in the life of a young Sámi reindeer herder. From herding reindeer onto frozen rivers using snowmobiles to gathering in the mountains for the calf-marking festival, this book celebrates a traditional way of life for the Sámi people and shines a light on their struggle to keep these traditions alive in a world battling climate change.
