Description
* Moonbeam Gold Award * Winter has a special beauty for those living in northern climates--even for those who live in cities. And winter nights can provide the most spectacular sights of all!
To her son's great surprise, a working, single mom breaks her routine one night and rushes her son downstairs to join their neighbors as they spontaneously celebrate the beauty of the northern lights--the aurora borealis. Nature is the central character in this story, and the spell it weaves provides this mother and son with a special moment they can look back on with great happiness.

Praise For…
The
panoramic painting of the purple and green bursts of color against a
star-studded sky is breathtaking. There are few, if any picture books about the
aurora borealis. This one fills the gap nicely.
— School Library Journal
Rich’s paintings tremble with a feeling of anticipation and
a sense that magic is in the air. Lundebrek's debut celebrates nature's power
to transform the ordinary.
