Magic Words: From the Ancient Oral Tradition of the Inuit

Gorgeous art, and I enjoyed the poem, but I'm not sure how this would work for young readers. Specifically: there's no narrative arc or main character. The concepts are pretty abstract (basically, magic of yore), the words pretty complex, and the ending a bit abrupt. I think kids could really enjoy the open-ended quality, especially accompanied with such beautiful illustrations, but I do wonder about this book's “sticking power”. Will it be something they come back to? That keeps sparking their imagination? I'm not sure.
