Description
Book SynopsisThe forest calls, and creatures come: big and small, one by one. They sense there is a task to do as night descends, replacing blue. On one bright winter night, a group of woodland creatures emerges from the forest. Despite their differences, they start to build something together, using items found on the forest floor. What are they making? And how quickly can they build it? Something special is happening tonight, and soon the animals are off—in a race to catch a glimpse of one of nature’s most astounding wonders! With lyrical text and sparkling artwork, Bright Winter Night is a celebration of the joy and beauty of nature and the special gift of friendship and togetherness.
Trade Review“Destined to be a favorite bedtime read-aloud.” —Kirkus Reviews “Awash in shades of purple, blue, and pink, [Ashling] Lindsay’s watercolor and digital artwork project the magic evoked by Brydon’s smooth rhymes, illuminating a magnetic portrait of woodland camaraderie.” —Publishers Weekly “This winter tale would work well for dusky afternoon story hours in December or a bedtime story; the muted illustrations and the text, which has a perfect scan and beat, begin energetically but slow to soothing, steady levels as the animals settle down to sleep.” —School Library Journal “With a truly lyrical text by author/storyteller Alli Brydon and the sparkling artwork by artist/illustrator Ashling Lindsay, Bright Winter Night is a celebration of the joy and beauty of nature and the special gift of friendship and togetherness.” —Midwest Book Review
