It is nighttime. Branches of trees hang into a white field. Two squirrels sit in different branches. The field has a small house and trees on the other side. A large patch of green, blue, and pink is in the black sky. Text: Once upon a northern night melodies of green and pink and orange sang across the sky. I tried to capture them but they were much too nimble and only their rhythm reached you, deep in slumber, rising and falling with each sweet, peaceful breath.","id":21817359892539,"position":4,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.618,"height":309,"width":500,"src":"\/\/houseofanansi.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/BNCImageAPI_4fdf4d14-47dd-4691-83b8-ad65b14c8ab8.jpg?v=1648236701"},"aspect_ratio":1.618,"height":309,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/houseofanansi.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/BNCImageAPI_4fdf4d14-47dd-4691-83b8-ad65b14c8ab8.jpg?v=1648236701","width":500}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eOnce Upon a Northern Night\u003c\/em\u003e has received starred reviews from Kirkus, Publishers Weekly and School Library Journal. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this exquisite lullaby, the beauty and wonder of a northern winter night unfold, with images of a soft snowfall, the wild animals that appear in the garden, the twinkling stars, the gentle rhythm of the northern lights and the etchings of frost on the window pane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the young child sleeps, wrapped in a downy blanket, a snowflake falls, and then another and another.
