I have had this book since my 10 year old was a toddler. The storyline is predictable. The child wonders if Mommy will still love her if....... The answer to the question is, of course, yes. So, you are probably thinking, Do we really need another one of those books on the shelf?
The thing that makes this book different from all the other books that reassure a child of a parents unending love is that this story also teaches us about a different culture. We are exposed to vocabulary like mukluks and ptarmigan eggs. There is a glossary in the back of the book to help us and the illustrations are gorgeous. This book is a respectful look at the Inuit culture as well as a reassurance that no matter how naughty you are, your Mommy will still love you.
