About This Book

A parent would reach for this book when their child is testing boundaries or needs reassurance that love is unconditional, even after misbehavior. In this gentle, repetitive story, a young Inuit girl asks her mother a series of 'what if' questions to test the limits of her affection. 'What if I put salmon in your parka? What if I turned into a polar bear?' With each question, her mother offers a creative, comforting, and unwavering assurance of her endless love. Set against a beautifully illustrated arctic backdrop, the book is perfect for ages 2 to 6. It provides a warm, secure framework for affirming a parent's boundless love, making an abstract concept feel tangible and true.
