It’s the spooky season in the Arctic and Lemming and her pup are experiencing their first Halloween! As the night grows cold and dark, they meet all their old friends disguised as classic Halloween creatures. At first afraid of these creepy foes, the little pup eventually starts to understand that Halloween takes bravery and courage.
But when a qallupilluk—a mythological creature from Inuit folklore that steals children—comes skulking through town, will little Lemming’s new-found courage be enough to save the day?
Sweet and spooky fun for the Halloween season!
