The Little Musk Ox

In the wide, white Arctic, a little musk ox with a shaggy brown coat and a tan patch on his back watches the snow sparkle under the pale sun. One morning he meets Hare, a small white Arctic hare with black-tipped ears who can hop over the deep snow, and the two become friends, finding that his short, strong legs and her quick hops make a good pair.

When the sky turns gray and a winter storm begins to howl, their friendship is tested. Hare remembers a sheltered valley past the big ridge, and together they set out into the swirling snow, the musk ox plowing a path and sheltering Hare from the wind while Hare scouts ahead. This gentle animal tale by Aysel Banu YAVUZAL follows the two friends as they combine their strengths and look after one another through a frightening night.
