Note (added May 27, 2014): Sweetest Kulu will be available in October. You MUST ALSO watch the set of short videos here. She was performing in New York with a cousin. By the way! If you're interested in Native music, you ought to add Kalluk to your playlist. Sweetest Kulu is another great book from Inhabit Media. And for those of us who just need a book that rights the world for us, that reminds us of that world in all its richness.
This is a terrific book for those who have a newborn in the house. In Kalluk's hands, this is not the stereotypical one-with-the-animals story that we see all too often. Kalluk's words and Neonakis's art work beautifully together as we learn Inuit values in which people and animals coexist as caretakers of the land. See the cover? The whole book is like that. The sense of peace and promise in Kalluk's book was just what I needed on a particularly trying day. The babe who is the sweetest kulu in this book is Inuit (Inuktitut is one of the languages spoken by Inuit people). Both meanings apply to Sweetest Kulu by Celina Kalluk, illustrated by Alexandria Neonakis.
Sweet! Sometimes, that exclamation (Sweet!) means something is endearing, and sometimes, it means something is way cool.
