In this universal story, a child tests the limits of independence and comfortingly learns that a parent's love is unconditional and everlasting. 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 exciting animals, such as whales, wolves, puffins and sled dogs.

Includes a carefully researched glossary and provides additional information on Arctic life.
