An evergreen children?'s classic about an Inuit mother
and her child. Beautifully illustrated with striking pictures of the natural
landscape of Alaska, Mama Do You Love Me explores the tender relationship between
a mother and her daughter. ?What if I put salmon in your parka?
and emine in your mukluks?? ask the child. The mother patiently answers
that she would love her, no matter how naughty she was. ?I love you more
than the raven loves his treasure, more than the dog loves his tail, more than
the whale loves his spout.?
There's a quiet joyfulness in both the antics of the Inuit mother
and daughter and in the animals--including a polar bear and a musk ox--that
the daughter imagines she might become.
The story is delightfully told from the perspective of the Intuit
culture. The mischief the child creates deals with things that are unique to
that culture such as accidentally dropping ptarmigan eggs, spilling the oil
in the family's lamp, slipping an emrine in mama's mukluks or turning into a
Walrus.
The artwork, animals, clothing, and some other objects named are specific to
the Arctic world, but the theme is universal. The graphics are so vivid that
they seem to jump right out of the application!
