The graphic work is in this book is quite beautiful, creative and touching. What I found most attractive though, as an adult, and a parent of a preschooler was the mutual respect and admiration from nature to a human being and viceversa, plus a simple and nice way to introduce native Alaskan culture (Inuk). Without it being poetry, I found it quite poetic. There is a constant encouragement of the child to know all the great things she/he can be.A beautiful gift as well.
Such a sweet Book. And I Live in Nome, AK. So its absolutely awesome to see a book drawn and written by native women ( I assume their both native, sorry if I'm wrong). Being a native woman myself. Its much appreciated. IT is so BEAUTIFULLY Done. I can't begin to describe its beauty. Both of these Women have captured what the arctic truly is. Anyone who's reading this. This Book is Worth the Buy. Completely worth it. I wanna buy a couple copies of this for my family members who just had babies. And one for my own personal collection ( Although I don't have any Kids).
amazing book...illustrated by my grandaughter...its wonderful!!!!!!!
I was looking for some board books for my new niece and was attracted by the lovely cover of Sweetest Kulu by author Celina Kalluk an Inuit throat singer.The story tells of the gifts given to a newborn by the animals of the arctic. The language is gentle and flowing and had a calming effect on me. I learned that the word Kulu is an Inuit term of endearment. How perfect for a baby book.Little Kulu is dressed in a teal outfit on each page as is a different arctic animal. I particularly loved the pages with the arctic char, the snow bunting and my absolute favourite was the narwhal beluga page. If I could have a print suitable for framing, that would be the page. The book is illustrated by Alexandria Neonakis.This book provides plenty of material for both parents and children to enjoy. As the child grows older, they can learn the animals, colours, flowers and even play act the feeling that are introduced. This is a book that I could enjoy reading again and again.
I love this book for so many reasons: the simplicity of it, the beauty of the story itself and the illustrations, the kindness, how each animal represents a wonderful attribute and how the message is sweetly shown to treat every animal with the respect it deserves.It's a beautiful bedtime story and can be applied to every child. Every child should own this picture book to be read to over and over.Written by Celina Kalluk, illustrated by Alexandria Neonakis and published by Inhabit Media Inc.#mustread #animals #bedtime #love #PB
