âPanik, do you know how much I love you? When I look at the
horizon, past the vast tundra, I see no end. That is how much I
love you.â In this lovingly told book, a mother recounts for her
daughter all the things she loves about her, connecting each
attribute to an element of the Arctic landscape or Inuit
traditional life. As her daughterâs eyes glisten like the fire of
an oil lamp, and her courage shines bright like buds of purple
saxifrage fighting through a thick blanket of snow, the mother
weaves a beautiful narrative of connection and love that will warm
the hearts of all readers.
