Canadian Sites and Symbols is a series of books that enlighten young readers about our country. Nunavut presents facts and images about Canada's most recent territorial addition, which came into being April 1, 1999.

Nunavut's land is sparsely populated for such a big territory, and many people know little about its main inhabitants — the Inuit. This book offers readers an interesting glimpse into their culture, language, history and their plans for the future. It also showcases the flora and fauna of the Far North.

Canadian Sites and Symbols books are separated into sections that contain small, precise write-ups on important aspects of the regions being presented. Each section is accompanied by photos, with "Fun Facts" columns throughout and a quiz and a glossary at the end.
