From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-This Spanish translation has a beautifully glowing text. It tells the story of a young arctic child who seeks constant reassurance of her mother's love. The questions she poses are playful and innocent, while her mother's answers are lyrical and poetic. Whether the child mischievously throws water on a lamp, runs away from home, or becomes a fierce polar bear, she is assured that her mother's love is ever present and everlasting. The illustrations are large and colorful, offering magnificent glimpses into arctic life. A glossary that explains certain terms and names of animals specific to the region is included. An endearing title to read aloud.
