Advance Praise
"Van Camp composes a lyrical ode to a newborn child, which is matched in its loveliness by Flett's exquisite, collage-like images of a young one with his or her parents. Both collaborators are of aboriginal Canadian descent, and the book will have particular appeal for families looking for nonwhite representations of tender family moments. But families of every size, shape, and background can appreciate sentiments like, 'You are life and breath adored/ You are us and so much more/ Little ember with growing light/ Feel our love as we hold you tight.'"—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"The soothing rhythms of the language and the affection of the scenes are right on target. A poetic and joyful celebration."—Kirkus Reviews
"A contemporary Métis child and his family are shown as the child grows
from infancy to toddlerhood. Joy in life and the world about them are
lovingly depicted in spare, but evocative text that is paired with
Flett’s exquisite mixed-media illustrations."—Debbie Reese for School Library Journal
