Under the Night Sky

A young boy is in bed, waiting for his mother to get home from work. Suddenly she bursts into the room, rushes him into his winter clothes, and they run outside. It's not a fire, but everyone is looking up into the sky to see a magical light show--the aurora borealis. It is a special moment that they will long remember. A new, and first, children's book by Amy Lundebrek, illustrated by Anna Rich, it could be a resource for an introductory unit on the Northern Lights. Although accurate to the story, the illustrations are dark, so it might not work well for a group setting. Even so, it is a nice complete package. The publisher, Tilbury House, has a teacher's resource guide to go with it.
