This beautiful bedtime poem, written by acclaimed Inuit throat singer Celina Kalluk, describes the gifts given to a newborn baby by all the animals of the Arctic.
“Sweetest Kulu, On the day you were born, all of the Arctic Summer was there to greet you. Smiling Sun shone so bright and stayed through the night, Giving you blankets and ribbons of warm light.”
Lyrically and tenderly told by a mother speaking to her own little Kulu, an Inuktitut term of endearment often bestowed upon babies and young children, this visually stunning book is infused with the traditional Inuit values of love and respect for the land and its animal inhabitants.
