- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is a sweet story about generational love and belonging from the Tłı̨chǫ (that's "Dogrib" to you, white man) writer Richard Van Camp and the Cree–Metis artist Julie Flett. It'll help make your child gentle.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5diverse picture book (a board book for parents welcoming a new baby; families; parental love for their child)
* Prominently features diverse characters: beautiful illustrations depict medium-dark skinned families with straight black hair (could be identified as asian or First Nations or possibly Latinx). There are some spreads with just mom and baby, and other spreads with two parents--usually one with long hair that presents as female and one with short hair that could be interpreted as male or female, or somewhere else along the gender spectrum.
* this would not be my first choice for storytime, since the story is so quiet, but it could work for a baby storytime with pre-walkers. It's a more likely choice for a gift for two parents who are welcoming a new baby.
