You Come from the Stars

A mother. A story. A curious child.

¿How did I get in your belly?¿ a child asks his mother. ¿Well, it¿s a magical story...¿ she tells him. In this lyrical love letter from mother to son, a woman reflects on her journey to motherhood. From learning to care for others to honouring family members through Inuit naming practices, this touching book celebrates all the ways in which a child is loved.

Written by Inuit author, throat singer, and filmmaker Tanya Snow, You Come From the Stars showcases a mother's tenderness for her child against the backdrop of the stunning Arctic tundra.
