Description
"A tender bedtime tale set in a too-seldom-seen northern world."- ? Kirkus Reviews
In the sky at nighttime, the northern lights dance, a mother's song sways on the breeze, and a raven roosts atop a tall building, bathed in the light of the moon.
This lyrical poem sends readers sailing through the Arctic night sky to see and hear the unique beauty of a Northern night.
