Description

Winner, 2021 Northern Lights Book Award, "Time-Honored" category "Not every child has seen the northern lights, of course, but even those who only have heard of them may be interested in this colorful book. The legend is pleasant, and Dwyer's brilliant watercolors bring it to life." -Parade Magazine "This fanciful exploration of the origins of the Aurora Borealis, the northern lights, is a scrumptious delight!" -Publishers Weekly Early one morning in a long ago northern land, a baby girl was born. Her mother named her Aurora, which means the “rosy light of dawn". . . In Aurora, storyteller and artist Mindy Dwyer shares a magical tale about a young girl whose dreams lead her to a great discovery, her own courage and the spectacular northern lights. Through her bright, luminous illustrations and text, this origin story about the glorious northern lights is magically portrayed to young readers and makes the perfect bedtime story. Mindy Dwyer is author and/or illustrator of many books, including Treasure and Chia and the Fox Man. Read more

Beautiful tale and pictures!
Format: Paperback
Beautiful book, very sweet tale of the myth of the Northern lights! Colorful drawings, love that the author wrote at the end different facts, and explained Myth vs. fact. My great niece Aurora will enjoy. Love teaching the young about other cultures and wonders of the world! Recommend!

A sweet story
Format: Paperback
I bought this book knowing nothing about it and just hoped for the best as my daughter was having a baby and chose the name Aurora. This book Exceeded my expectations as it was well written and was an adorable story of a girl who found her light inside of her.

I wanted the child to know about the aurora borealis and was delighted to find this book
Format: Paperback
My sister's first grandchild is a little girl named Aurora. I wanted the child to know about the aurora borealis and was delighted to find this book. From the front cover to the written description, the book sounded charming so I had it shipped directly to my sister. I haven't actually seen the book but my sister says both she and our little Aurora are really enjoying it. Just looking at pictures at this point but will be able to read it together for years as skills - and attention span - improve. ... show more

What a beautiful book! Bought this as a gift for a One year old Aurora. It’s generally for an older age range, but I knew that buying. I wanted it more for a keepsake. The illustrations are lovely and makes a great gift.
