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.
Praise
“[A] book guided by love and celebration.”—Quill & Quire
“Campeau skillfully draws together modern imagery (the baby’s bounce chair will feel familiar to so many parents) with a distinctly Arctic landscape. The result is a visual story that positions Inuit culture as present-day and vibrant; awesome.”—Canadian Review of Materials
“If you know anyone having a baby or just having had a baby, We Love You As Much As the Fox Loves Its Tail would be a lovely gift to the family. It evokes the abundance of love and the closeness of family, and, no matter if the family lives in an urban landscape, in a prairie rural community, or a far northern region, We Love You As Much As the Fox Loves Its Tail will evince the joy of a new babe from its pages.”—CanLit for Little Canadians
