Sweetest Kulu is her first book for children.
Currently, she is the Inuktitut Language Specialist and Cultural Arts teacher for grades seven through twelve at Qarmartalik School in Resolute Bay. Celina is also a visual artist and has illustrated several book covers and other literacy materials. She dedicates this book to all the mothers and fathers of this earth and to our wonderful children. She also has four daughters of her own, Jazlin, Aulaja, Saima, and Ramata. Celina has two brothers and five sisters, one sister-niece, and many more beautiful nieces and nephews. Lyrically and tenderly told by a mother speaking to her own little Kulu an Inuktitut term of endearment often bestowed upon babies and young children, this visually stunning book is infused with the traditional Inuit values of love and respect for the land and its animal inhabitants.Ĭelina Kalluk was born and raised in Resolute Bay, Nunavut, Canada, to Zipporah Kalluk and Leonard Thibodeau. This beautiful bedtime poem, written by acclaimed Inuit throat singer Celina Kalluk, describes the gifts given to a newborn baby by all the animals of the Arctic. "Dream a little, Kulu, this world now sings a most beautiful song of you."
