"An Inuit baby curled in the pouch of his mother’s parka narrates what he sees and feels, protected from the cold and snuggled safe. Each page of this sensory exploration begins with the title phrase and ends with a feeling that the little boy loves, and the illustrations fancifully translate those feelings into swirling pictures. A cozy peek into a baby’s small world and big imagination." —The Boston Globe ★"The far north has never felt so deliciously warm." — ★Kirkus, Starred Review ★"A baby's perspective of being held in its anaana's (mother's) amautik ("the pouch in the back of a woman's parka where a baby can be carried") is explored in lulling, sensory-rich text and illustrations. This gentle story elevates the feelings of comfort and security that the amautik enables." — ★Horn Book Magazine, Starred Review ★"This gentle story is warm, cozy, and loving—just like being in anaana’s amautik. Readers will carry this gorgeous book close to their hearts." — ★School Library Journal, Starred Review "Just right for bedtime, it’s an intimate tale that celebrates simple warmth and comfort."—Publishers Weekly "A tender paean for the youngest readers and their caregivers."—Booklist
