One day when heavy rains force them to play inside, Yakari and Rainbow are startled by a strange sound. To their amazement, it’s followed by their whole tipi suddenly taking off and flying straight north, with them inside! After several hours of a not entirely pleasant journey, they’re greeted on landing by Rainbow’s spirit guide Nanabozho, the Great Rabbit, who wants them to meet the inhabitants of the great north. Among those is a mysterious white bird …
Yakari can get quite serious at times but it is always fun. This story, in many aspects, reminded me of some old British weekly comic strips. The last page alone has a cuteness factor of 10.5 and made me smile (it was the comic or gastric reflux but I am sure it was a smile...).
If you have youngsters get them into reading early and there is no better series for that than Yakari!
