Description
Mama, do you love me? Yes I do Dear One. How much? In this universal story, a child tests the limits of independence and comfortingly learns that a parent's love is unconditional and everlasting. The story is made all the more captivating by its unusual Arctic setting. The lyrical text introduces young readers to a distinctively different culture, while at the same time showing that the special love that exists between parent and child transcends all boundaries of time and place. The story is beautifully complemented by graphically stunning illustrations that are filled with such exciting animals as whales, wolves, puffins, and sled dogs, and a carefully researched glossary provides additional information on Arctic life. This tender and reassuring book is one that both parents and children will turn to again and again.

Horn Book Review
In a series of questions and answers reminiscent of Margaret Wise Brown's 'The Runaway Bunny' (Harper), a small Inuit girl uses her imagination to test her mother's love. The rounded, stylized watercolors are brightly appealing, full of humor and love. A beautiful combination of a rich culture and a universal theme. From HORN BOOK 1991, (c) Copyright 2010.

School Library Journal Reviews
PreS-Gr 2-- A young girl asks how much her mother loves her, even when she is naughty, and receives warm, reassuring answers. The twist on this familiar theme is that the two are Inuits, and the text and pictures draw on their unique culture: ``What if I put salmon in your parka, ermine in your mittens, and lemmings in your mukluks?'' asks the girl. Two pages of back matter define and explain the functions of various terms in Inuit life past and present. Charming, vibrant watercolor illustrations expand the simple rhythmic text, adding to the characters' personalities and to the cultural information. Ceremonial masks appear in the corner of several pages and on the endpapers, a nice detail in a well-designed book. --Kathleen Odean, Moses Brown School, Providence, RI Copyright 1991 Cahners Business Information.
