Summary "The Snow Baby: A true story with true pictures" by Josephine Diebitsch Peary is a children's book written in the early 20th century. This work combines elements of biography and adventure as it recounts the real-life story of a baby girl named AH-NI-GHI´-TO (or Marie) who is born in the Arctic among the Eskimos. The book captures the unique environment and culture of the Eskimo people, along with the extraordinary circumstances surrounding her birth and upbringing in this icy, remote land. The storyline unfolds as AH-NI-GHI´-TO, a snow-white baby with big blue eyes, is discovered in a snow-covered house in the Arctic. As she grows, the locals—who are predominantly brown-skinned Eskimos—are fascinated by her, naming her the "Snow Baby." The narrative details her experiences during the harsh winter and the long polar night, followed by the joy of the sun's return in spring. With vivid descriptions of her surroundings and interactions with local children and animals, the story highlights themes of cultural differences, friendship, and wonder. Ultimately, as AH-NI-GHI´-TO's family prepares to take her back to America, the book also touches on her return journey and the lessons learned from her time among the Eskimos.
