Description
"The far north has never felt so deliciously warm." — ★Kirkus Reviews
"Readers will carry this gorgeous book close to their hearts."— ★School Library Journal
"Just right for bedtime, it's an intimate tale that celebrates simple warmth and comfort."—Publishers Weekly
Nadia Sammurtok lovingly invites the reader into the amautik—the pouch in the back of a mother’s parka used to carry a child—to experience everything through the eyes of the baby nestled inside, from the cloudlike softness of the pouch to the glistening sound of Anaana’s laughter. Sweet and soothing, this book offers a unique perspective that will charm readers of all ages.
