He carves a figure of a girl in a kayak and asks Jana to promise that she will watch for the figure after he releases it upriver.

Eventually, they are reunited, and Jana’s spirit is revived. Throughout the book, watercolor illustrations take readers to a magical place along an Alaska river and demonstrate the power of memory and a sense of place in the natural world.
