“We’ll love you as much as the narwhal loves its tusk.

We’ll love you as much as the seal loves its musk.

Little One, our new baby,

Welcome to our family.”

This loving bedtime poem shares all the ways in which a family will welcome their long-awaited new member. Sharing love as deep as the beluga dives and as warm as the shaggy hair of the muskox, this poem envelopes a new baby in the embrace of their new home in all its forms―the Arctic landscape and the welcoming arms of family.

Written by Inuk/Dene writer Masiana Kelly, and illustrated with warmth and softness by Tamara Campeau, this sweet and simple narrative celebrates the beauty of creating a family and the unbounding love waiting to be shared with a new little soul.

When a new baby is brought into the world, the parents want to make sure the little one knows just how much he/she is loved. They use animals and their behaviors as the subject for different metaphors to compare their love. It's infinite and will continue forever as long as they breathe.

WE LOVE YOU AS MUCH AS THE FOX LOVES ITS TAIL is a celebration of a parent's love and new births/additions to the family. The illustrations are beautifully detailed to exhibit animals in the polar regions. The lyrical writing reads like a poem with every other verse rhyming. My daughter likes when I read this one as a bedtime story and it's always followed up with a hug and a kiss.

Final Verdict: I would recommend this to families with new babies, especially those with siblings because this is a story they can also share. It would even make a great baby shower gift, especially those who love animals.
