Description
Learning to Carve Argillite is based on Haida artist Robert Davidson's own childhood experiences. This beautiful story highlights learning through observation, as well as the role of Elders in sharing knowledge and mentorship. This book co-authored by Sara Florence Davidson and illustrated by Janine Gibbons. Learning to carve is a lifelong journey. With the help of his father and grandfather, a boy on Haida Gwaii practises to become a skillful carver. As he carefully works on a new piece, he remembers a trip to Slatechuck Mountain to gather the argillite, as well as his father’s words about the importance of looking back to help us find our way. This book brings the Haida Sk'ad'a Principles to life through the art of Janine Gibbons.
