Seeking an Aurora

The back of the book has more info about an aurora which I found really interesting, but I thought the story itself was shallow and missed out on an opportunity to showcase such a grand part of nature. I think I could sum it up in a few words and you wouldn't miss much—a dad pulls a child oout of bed, they take a little hike to some rocks, see the lights for a second, then walk back down and dad tells his child everything he knows (everything he knows isn't shared in the story, just in the extra information at the back of the book).

Beautiful illustrations, but the story wasn’t as captivating.

If you're looking for a book about the Northern (or Southern) lights, this is a great one. It focuses on a strong parent-child relationship and the wonder of the lights, while also providing some helpful facts at the end for those who want to know more about the science. If you aren't looking for a book about the Northern Lights . . . there's not much here for you :)
