A Native American girl is selected by the people of her tribe to become a shaman, as her great-grandmother was before her. With her tribe facing devastation because the caribou they depend on for food and clothing have disappeared, the girl approaches Tatqiq the Moon Man, who transforms her into a caribou. As an animal, the girl meets a herd of caribou, learns their ways, and manages to reunite them with her people. Illustrated with watercolor paintings.
