Lucia and the Light

Lucia and her family live in a cabin in the mountains of the Far North. They are happy and content until one day when the sun does not rise over the mountain. After many days of darkness, Lucia sets out with her skiis, a tinderbox to make fire, and her white cat to find the sun. Written by Phyllis Root with eerie and suspenseful illustrations by Mary GrandPre, this could be a good read-aloud for children studying the winter season.
