Gr 2-4–As his mother goes into labor, Kalluk makes way to his grandma’s camp for her support. On his journey, Kalluk encounters several animal neighbors expressing their happiness. With each new meeting, he asks why they are happy. They share their happiness is rooted in their supportive abilities to thrive in their environments, abilities which vary by creature. Kalluk reflects on their happiness to his own and is grateful for their existence. The homey palette and deliberately rudimentary illustrations allow room for stronger attention and reflections towards the storyline. A brief translation and pronunciation guide is provided.
VERDICT A gratitude-enriched lesson for children that everyone has a different purpose, this book has a quiet but lasting impact for lessons on being true to oneself.
