Description
Inuit babies spend much of their time in the warm embrace of their mother's amaut, the snug pouch in the back of a woman's parka where babies and small children can be carried.
In this heartwarming story, a little girl helps out her busy aunt by packing her baby cousin in a cozy amaut. She walks her cousin and sings sweetly to her, finally lulling the fussy baby to sleep.
Sharing a beautiful tradition that Inuit girls have practised for generations, author Ceporah Mearns shows young readers the joy of helping to care for the babies in their families.
