Maniq loves her ittu (short for ittupajaaq, an Inuktitut word for grandfather). He's brave-enough to wrestle the grumpiest polar bear, if he ever needed to! He's tall-enough to see over the tallest mountain tops. He's generous-enough to walk through a blizzard to make sure others have delicious food to eat. And above all, he loves his grandkids, every single one of them-and there must be close to one hundred, by Maniq's count at least!

Who's brave enough to wrestle a grumpy polar bear? My Ittu!
