Frida loves spending time with her great-grandmother, Ama, and listening to her inspiring stories of activism. Ama believes in helping people, especially children and families. But Ama has one big problem. She is always cold. Her fingers feel like ice cubes, and sometimes, she feels like she lives inside a refrigerator. Frida has to do something to help, just like Ama taught her. With the help of a kind person named Tanis, and a special kind of wool called qiviut, Frida finds the perfect way to keep Ama warm!
"The gorgeous and very colourful illustrations by Ellie Arscott invite us into a multi-generational world of shared magic between child and great-grandmother and the stories that bind them together….The book's messages of empathy and empowerment will resonate with all age groups, particularly with young girls."
"There is a sweet intergenerational relationship between Ama and Frida….The Warmest Blanket in the World is a tender story of family and kindness. It's wrapped in qiviut and embedded with affection and humanity. It doesn't get any more warm-hearted than that."
