Bookroo's summary

In the frozen north, two Ojibway sisters embark on a silent journey to witness the SkySpirits' midnight dance. As the younger sister learns to embrace the stillness, they are rewarded with the breathtaking spectacle of the northern lights. Will the magic of the night sky transform their bond and ignite a sense of wonder?

From the publisher

Two Ojibway sisters set off across the frozen north country to see the SkySpirits’ midnight dance. It isn’t easy for the younger sister to be silent, but gradually she begins to treasure the stillness and the wonderful experiences it brings. After an exhilarating walk and patient waiting, the girls are rewarded by the arrival of the SkySpirits – the northern lights – dancing and shimmering in the night sky. This powerful story, with its stunning illustrations, captures the chill of a northern night, the warmth of the family circle and the radiance of a child’s wonder.
