Iina-Marja's Day: From Dawn to Dusk in Lapland (A Child's Day)

This is part of the series A Child's Day, which focuses on the daily lives and experiences of children in countries around the world. We follow the child all through the day: from waking up, through breakfast, going to school, learning, travelling home, playing, and getting ready for bed. This book introduces Iina Marja, who lives in a village in Lapland. Iina-Marja's day begins with morning lessons. The she and her mother board the seaplane and fly over the water to Raittijärvi, their second home in the Arctic wilderness. At Raittijärvi, Iina-Marja helps make dinner, goes fishing on the lake and, at the end of the day, chats to her father by the fire in the goahti (tent).
