“Panik, do you know how much I love you? When I look at the

attribute to an element of the Arctic landscape or Inuit

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.
