Goodreads

A fanciful, poetical picture book about the northern lights. Rich, colorful illustrations that somehow feel cozy. Text is simple but with a pleasing cadence for read aloud. The pictures, though all themed by the northern lights, are each distinct and in perfect sync with the words on that page. This would be a delicious book to read aloud on a winter evening while curled up on the couch, and also perfect for a winter story time when there is snow outside. For very young children, it might be a fun introduction to a conversation about northern lights and exploring the night sky.

This has a place on library shelves; a beautiful display item that would go out frequently.
