Acclaimed Alaskan duo Debbie S. Miller and Jon Van Zyle bring the beautiful and mysterious arctic lands to life in this smart, stunning picture book.

Imagine a land where the sun rises at 1:58 a.m. in the summer and shines for less than four hours on a winter's day. The animals in the wilderness near Fairbanks, Alaska, witness some of the world's greatest temperature extremes and light variations ever year. At an average low of -16 degrees Fahrenheit, the winters may be unpleasantly frigid, but the light shows are always glorious!

“Van Zyle's superb and quietly beautiful acrylic paintings…capture both light and dark in perfect harmony with the text. A winner.” —School Library Journal

“A lovely treatment of a difficult concept and of a very special place.” —Kirkus Review
