On a shelf of the Yellowknife Public Library, there’s a book about a young boy who travels from Alaska to Yellowknife. He makes friends, learns about the outdoors, and when his hands are cold, elders give him warm handmade mittens to wear.
It documents the adventures of seven-year-old Sebastian Bernabe, who wrote, illustrated and then published 100 copies of The Alaskan Boy Who Explored Bushkids.
Sebastian and his family have been in Yellowknife now for a few years. He told CBC he was sad when his family initially moved, because he didn’t have any friends. His parents enrolled him in Bushkids, an on-the-land learning program
