Very Last First Time

Very Last First Time

Eva Padlyat lives in an Inuit village on Ungava Bay in northern Canada. In winter, when people want mussels to eat, they search along the bottom of the seabed. The time comes for Eva to lower herself into a hole in the ice and walk along the seabed below. This is the first time she has been alone on the bottom of the sea, and she accidentally stumbles. She must find her way back before the tide turns. When Eva's adventure ends, and she is safely above the ice, she realizes that it was the last very first time she will have to walk alone along the rock-strewn seabed.
