I know this one is a classic and beloved children’s book but although I enjoyed this I found some of the words very difficult to pronounce and will need to look them up for future readings. I will say that I did enjoy the glossary in the back with descriptions of all the indigenous vocabulary!
very cute short story to understand unconditional motherly love
One of my favourite books as a child! My mother used to read it to me often.
Sweet, silly, and informative. The imaginative and thematic illustrations are delightful.
Mother Tongue Notes: Highlights the Inuit culture of Alaska. We read this book in conjunction with other books about winter and another native tribe in North America. We compared the animals of North America and other Arctic regions and compared clothing used in these books and what the students wear during the winter.

Incredibly sweet story of a mom's love for her child.

slow-paced
A story of a child who asks his mother would love him if a variety of scenarios were to happen. Some of them are possible and others involve the shapeshifting of a child's imagination. It was a cute book about how a mother's love is always, regardless.
Love, love, love it! So did my kids. Great story, great art!
The message of the unconditional love a parent has for their child in this book is lovely, and told in a cute, unique way: "I love you more than the raven loves his treasure, more than the dog loves his tail, more than the whole loves his spout." The girl is testing the boundaries of her mother's love, and is reassured that, no matter what she does, her mother will love her. The illustrations are quite lovely, too, bright colours, some nice intricate patterns on the women's dresses.
I'm not sure what to think about the fact that this is a book about two Inuit people written by non-native people. The glossary of arctic animals, people, and customs in the back (and the rest of the book) seem respectful, but it does have a bit of that focus on native culture as "traditional" and in the past thing going on.
