Long ago, all living creatures on this land shared a special balance with one another. The pugulatmuâjâ"the Little Peopleâ"were the original guardians of the land, and they looked after all living things. As time passed, we forgot these playful yet powerful guardians, but they did not forget us. Occasionally, they make their presence known with the little tricks they play.

When her hair clip disappears, Mali is devastated. It was special, made by her giju''. Her mom thinks she lost it, but Mali knows it was stolen by the pugulatmuâj.

Soon after, Mali is surprised to meet Puugâ"and heâs wearing her hair clip. If she helps him find what he needs, she has a chance of getting it back. As they hunt for the objects on Puugâs list, Mali uncovers a lot of unanswered questions along the way.

Why is there a giant chasing them? Will she really get her hair clip back? And why is Puug collecting these things anyway?

Join Mali and Puug as they race to keep one step ahead of an ancient giant in the first volume of this graphic novel series for young readers.

Industry Reviews

What a read! What an adventure! Giju's Gift is a treasure filled with knowledge, insight, and a little bit of terror. I loved it!! Brandon Mitchell and Veronika Barinova have knocked it out of the park and given us something special that everyone can learn from.
