Why Are Soccer and Walrus in Seasons by the Lake by Naja Lund Aparico?


Summary: Why are soccer and walrus in Seasons by the Lake: Adventures in Greenland by author Naja Lund Aparico and illustrator Alex Nees, Dial Books, 17 March 2026?

"God talks to human beings through many vectors: through each other, through organized religion, through the great books of those religions, through wise people, through art and music and literature and poetry, but nowhere with such detail and grace and color and joy as through creation. When we destroy a species, when we destroy a special place, we're diminishing our capacity to sense the divine, understand who God is and what our own potential is." Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., April 19, 2023, Boston Park Plaza Hotel, Back Bay, Boston, Massachusetts.

“And there’s many people out there who want us to move to the next planet already and I’m like, hang on, let’s not give up on this planet yet," William, Prince of Wales, July 31, 2023, Sorted Food food truck, London, England, United Kingdom.

Why are soccer and walrus in Seasons by the Lake: Adventures in Greenland by author Naja Lund Aparico and illustrator Alex Nees, Dial Books, Penguin/Random House imprint, Tuesday, March 17, 2026?
Greenland culture, by its belief in Northern Lights as ancestral Arsarnerit ("to-play-the-one-who-plays"; Kalaallisut/West-Greenlandic arsa- -ner -it) bodes the mammal walrus, whose head becomes the Arsarnerit-soccer ball. Coastal-north, coastal-southeast, coastal-southwest Greenlanders correlate the Northern Lights, called the Aurora Borealis ("dawn north-wind-pertaining"; Latin aurōra boreālis [boreās -ālis]), with Inuit ("the-people"; Inuktitut ["like-the-Inuit"; ᐃᓄᒃᑎᑐᑦ] ᐃᓄᐃᑦ). The Northern Lights dazzle the book division that deals with the second through the fourth, the seventh through the ninth pages of the December-April winter months.
Grandmother Aanaa explains the enduring emanation as Inuit forebears whose expiring never eliminates their enjoying soccer-game exercises even as the authorial Postscript enters a scientific explanation.

The afore-featured second page figures the Northern Lights as formed from Blue-Marble magnetic field and solar winds even as that configuration foments rustling, whistling static electricity.
Greenland walruses generate great gamuts of such sounds as the mating-season walrus males' bell-like vocalizations even as that mating song perhaps guards Arsarnerit-like rustles and whistles. Forty-, forty-plus-year life-expectancy lifespans herald physical maturity as 15- to 16-year-old, 3.1- to 3.2-meter- (10.2- to 10.5-foot-) long, 795- to 1, 210-kilogram (1,750- to 2,670-pound) males. It impels 10- to 12-year-old, 2.7-meter- (8.8-foot-) long, 565- to 830-kilogram (1,250- to 1,835-pound) females even as sexual maturity involves 7-year-old males, 4- to 6-year-old females.
Author Naja Lund Aparico and illustrator Alex Nees in Seasons by the Lake: Adventures in Greenland perhaps jubilate soccer-sport balls of 15- to 20-year-old male-walrus hides.

The marine-mammal walrus adapts to cold, icy, snowy landscapes and waterscapes of insular and mainland northernmost North America, northern Europe and northern Asia. Walrus populations adopt as their abodes Canadian, Greenlandian, Unitedstatesian coastlines even as archipelagic Norway and archipelagic and coastal Russia agree with land- and sea-amiable walruses.

Ages 10 and 15 years respectively kindle first-time mating females and males even as they thence keep 15-month gestating and two-, two-plus-year mating versus yearly mating.
The mating months January through March lead to each mother-to-be next-year birthing one 45- to 75-kilogram (99- to 165-pound) calf during spring-migration months April through June. Walrus mothers nurse their young, whose tusks net noticeability as six-month-olds, meter (3-foot) lengths in adulthood, one-plus year even as young walruses navigate independently as six-year-olds. Naja Lund Aparico and Alex Nees offer Seasons by the Lake walrus heads as 2- to 4-centimeter- (0.8- to 1.6-inch-) thick hides for Arsarnerit-organized soccer ball-kicking.
Chordata phylum-ship ("cord-/string-having nation-/race-/set-/tribe-having"; Latin chorda -ata; Greek φῦλον) prompts central nervous system-precursing nerve cord; feeding-, respiration-supportive pharyngeal-slitting; post-anal tail; skeletal support; thyroid; vertebral column-precursing notochord.

Mammalia ("breast-pertaining"; Latin mamma -ālia) class-ship quarters body-covering; internal-bone-work; live-birthing; milk-producing; three middle-ear bones; warm-blooded metabolism even as Placentalia ("nutrients-oxygen-waste-pertaining"; Greek πλακόεντα) infraclass-ship queues live-birthed-developed fetuses.
Carnivora (“flesh-devouring”, carnĭvŏrus [carō- -vorus]) order-ship qualifies Greenland walruses as meat-eating questors even as Pinnipedia ("fin-foot"; Latin pinna pes) parvorder-ship queues narrow-hindquartered, stream-lined, torpedo-shaped, wide-torsoed bodies. Odobenidae ("tusk-walker-resembling"; Latin odobēnus -idæ) family-ship realizes both-gendered downward-pointing upper-canine tusks, 6-inch- (15-centimeter-) thick sub-skin blubber, 600- to 700-whiskered touch-, vibration-sensitive vibrissae ("tremble/vibration"; Latin vibrissæ [vibrō]). Genus-specied Odobenus (Mathurin Brisson [Apr 30, 1723-Jun 23, 1806], 1762) rosmarus ("brown-red-whale"; Norse rosmhvalr; Carl Linnaeus [May 23, 1707-Jan. 10, 1778], 1758} sustains atypical-seal, both-gender tusks.

Greenlandic Inuit member in the Inuit group of Indigenous peoples with traditional homelands in the Arctic and Subarctic regions of North America and Russia. The Inuit who inhabited Naujaat (Inuktitut: ᓇᐅᔮᑦ, "seagulls' nesting place"), northwestern Hudson Bay, Nrthern Canada, were known to Greenlanders as ". . . Akilinermiut ('those who dwell in the land beyond the great sea'); the people I had heard about ever since, as a boy, I had first begun to listen to the Eskimo folk tales," as explained by Greenlandic Inuk-Danish polar explorer Knud Rasmussen (Knud Johan Victor Rasmussen; June 7, 1879-Dec. 21, 1933) sea") in Intellectual Culture of the Iglulik Esimos (Report of the Fifth Thule Expedition 1921-24 The Danish Expedition to Arctic North America in Charge of Knud Rasmussen, Ph.D., vol. VII, no. 1 [1929], page 14). The Akilinermiut belong to the Igloolik group of Inuits (page 9).
The Akilinermiut view of heaven, the Land of Day, harmonizes with the Greenlandic Inuit vision presented in Seasons by the Lake: Adventures in Greenland (2026), authored by Greenlandic Inuk author Naja Lund Aparico and illustrated by German-Choctaw artist Alex Nees. The favorite pasttime of the People of Day, playing ball with a tusked walrus skull, audibilizes and visibilizes as the Northern Lights (aurora borealis).
"Here, they are constantly playing ball, the Eskimos' favourite game, laughing and singing, and the ball they play with is the skull of a walrus. The object is to kick the skull in such a manner that is always falls with the tusks downwards, and thus sticks fast in the ground. It is this ball game of the departed souls that appears as the aurora borealis, and is heard as a whistling, rustling, crackling sound. The noise is made by the souls as they run across the frost-hardened snow of the heavens. If one happens to be out alone at night when the aurora borealis is visible, and hears this whistling sound, one has only to whistle in return and the lights will come nearer, out of curiosity" (page 95).

Bishop Museum August 2026 Sky Map Maybe Anticipates Cloudy Moon Phases


Summary: Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum August 2026 Sky Map maybe anticipates cloudy moon phases over Honolulu City, Honolulu County, Oahu island, Hawaii state.

"God talks to human beings through many vectors: through each other, through organized religion, through the great books of those religions, through wise people, through art and music and literature and poetry, but nowhere with such detail and grace and color and joy as through creation. When we destroy a species, when we destroy a special place, we're diminishing our capacity to sense the divine, understand who God is and what our own potential is." Robert Francis Kennedy Jr., April 19, 2023, Boston Park Plaza Hotel, Back Bay, Boston, Massachusetts.

“And there’s many people out there who want us to move to the next planet already and I’m like, hang on, let’s not give up on this planet yet," William, Prince of Wales, July 31, 2023, Sorted Food food truck, London, England, United Kingdom.


The moon progresses from last quarter to new to first quarter to full phases in August 2026, as detailed in the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum's J. (Jhamandas) Watumull Planetarium's Hawai'i's Sky Tonight for August 2026.
Wednesday, Aug. 5, finds 'Ole Pau waning as the last quarter until the moon's disappearance Wednesday, Aug. 12, in darkened or invisible Hilo, the new phase.
Graphic posted June 20, 2021, by Kamaka Pili, Native Hawaiian storyteller and broadcaster at Honolulu, Hawaii-based television news station KHON2, noted the "poor" fishing and "unproductive" planting that characterize the 'Ole Pau phase.:
Kamaka Pili KHON2, via Facebook June 20, 2021

Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum August 2026 Sky Map maybe anticipates cloudy moon phases over dark-sky Honolulu ("bay-sheltered"; hono lulu) City, Honolulu County, Oahu ("the-gathering-place"; o'ahu) island, Hawaii ("breath-lifeforce-supreme"; ha wai 'i) state.
Moon phases begin with last-quarter mahina hapalua hope (“moon half-double last[-quarter]”; Hawaiian mahina hapa lua hope) from Wed, Aug. 5, 2026 through Tue., Aug. 11, 2026. New-moon phase mahina hou ("month fresh/full/recent"; Hawaiian mahina hou), commences Wed., Aug. 12, 2026 and concludes Tue., Aug. 18, 2026 even as it compensates last-quarter correlations. The last-quarter, also designated as the third-quarter, lunar phase, defers to 'ole pau ("nothing done/finished/over"; Hawaiian 'ole pau) that determines those dates as fishing- and planting-poor.
The new-moon lunar phase entails calmer seas, lower tides and richer-hauled fishing even as it enjoys the native-Hawaiian moon calendar name hilo ("thread") for fishing-experience excellence.

The half-illuminated last quarter phase, 'Ole Pau, that appeared Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2026, wanes Wednesday, Aug. 12, to the darkened or invisible new moon phase, Hilo.
"Excellent" fishing but "unproductive" planting prevail with Hilo, according to the graphic posted April 3, 2021, by Kamaka Pili, Native Hawaiian storyteller and broadcaster at Honolulu, Hawaii-based television news station KHON2.:
Kamaka Pili KHON2, via Facebook July 11, 2021

Mahina hapalua mua ("moon half-double first[-quarter]"; Hawaiian mahina hapa lua mua), as first-quarter lunar phase, figures from Wed., Aug. 19, 2026 through Wed., Aug. 26, 2026.
The native-Hawaiian moon calendar gives the first-quarter moon the guideline ole ku lua ("unproductive moon [day-]two"; Hawaiian 'ole kū lua) guarding against good fishing and planting. The full-moon mahina o hoku ("moon of star"; Hawaiian mahina o hōkū has this-year dates heading from Thu., Aug. 27, 2026 through Thu., Sep. 3, 2026. The afore-indicated epaki mahina ("phase moon"; Hawaiian 'epaki mahina) inspires the identifications mahina piha ("moon full"; Hawaiian mahina piha) and mahina poepoe ("moon round"; mahina poepoe).
Bishop Museum August 2026 Sky Map over Honolulu, Hawaii jubilates galaxy, non-starline star, starline-star journeys even as cloudy days join cloudy nights for cloudy moon phases.

The darkened or invisible newness of the Hilo moon of Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2026, waxes Wednesday, Aug. 19, to half-illuminated 'Ole Kū Lua.
"Poor" fishing and "unproductive" planting characterize 'Ole Kū Lua, the first quarter phase, according to the graphic posted April 3, 2021, by Kamaka Pili, Native Hawaiian storyteller and broadcaster at Honolulu, Hawaii-based television news station KHON2.:
Kamaka Pili KHON2, via Facebook April 3, 2021

The native-Hawaiian moon calendar knows the August 2026 full-moon lunar phase as mahealani ("heavenly-haze"; Hawaiian māhealani ["haze sky"; māhea lani]) for its good fishing and planting.
The Unitedstatesian-month August links to the native-Hawaiian calendar months Hilinaehu and Hilinama, respectively as last-half July and first-half August and as last-half August and first-half September. It manifests among dry-, hot-season kau ("[summer-/warm-]season") native-American months even as its weather forecast means perhaps more cloudy, rainy days, evenings and nights than cloud-, rain-free. July-August full-moon navigates Wed-Tue., Jul 29-Aug. 4, 2026 even as August niches cloudy-rainy evening, cloudy night; cloud-free evening, night; cloudy evening, cloudy-rainy night; cloudy evening, night.
Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum August 2026 Sky Map offers galaxy, non-starline star, starline-star observations even as cloudy days occasion cloudy evenings, cloudy nights, cloudy moon phases.

The half-illumination of 'Ole Kū Lua, the first quarter phase, waxes Thursday, Aug. 27, 2026, to the shiny fullness of Māhealani, the full moon phase.
Māhealani conveys superbness, with the promise of "excellent" fishing and planting, according to the graphic posted March 28, 2021, by Kamaka Pili, Native Hawaiian storyteller and broadcaster at Honolulu, Hawaii-based television news station KHON2.:
Kamaka Pili KHON2, via Facebook March 28, 2021

Weather forecasts possibilitize cloudy evenings, nights Wed.-Fri., Aug. 5-7, 2026; cloudy evening cloudy-rainy night Sat., Aug. 8, 2026; cloudy-rainy evening, cloudy night Sun. Aug. 9, 2026.
The Perseid (Greek Περσεύς ["to-destroy/-plunder/-ravage/-sack/-slay"; πέρθω]) meteor showers queue Fri., Jul 17-Fri., Aug. 24, 2026 even as the dates Wed.-Thu., Aug. 12-13, 2026 quarter their peak. Mon.-Wed., Wed., Fri., Sat.-Mon., Aug. 10-12, 19, 21, 29-31; Thu., Fri., Aug. 13, 14, 2026 realize cloudy evenings, nights; cloudy evening, cloudy-rainy night; cloudy-rainy evening, night. Sat., Sat., Aug. 15, 22; Sun., Sun.-Thu., Aug. 16, 23-27; Mon.-Tue., Thu., Aug. 17-18, 20, 2026 sequence respectively cloudy nights; cloud-free evenings and nights; cloudy evenings.
Bishop Museum August 2026 Sky Map tracks galaxy, non-starline star, starline-star treks even as weather forecasts trend cloudy moon phases on such cloud-free evenings, such cloudy nights as Fri., Aug. 28, 2026.

The Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum's J. (Jhamandas) Watumull Planetarium's Hawai'i's Sky Tonight for August 2026 comprises two pages. The first page captures the month's night sky as viewed at 10 p.m. early in the month, 9 p.m. mid-month and 8 p.m. late in the month.
The second page (not shown above) dates and describes the August moon phases (Māhoe Mua Māhoe Hope 'Epaki Mahina) as:
"Last 8/5 ‘OLE PAU A poor time for fishing and planting. Kāloa Kū Kahi A good time for fishing and planting."
"New 8/12 HILO An excellent time for fishing."
"First 8/19 ‘OLE KŪ LUA A poor time for fishing and planting."
"Full 8/27 MĀHEALANI A good time for fishing and planting.":
