  • Beautiful tale and pictures!
Beautiful book, very sweet tale of the myth of the Northern lights! Colorful drawings, love that the author wrote at the end different facts, and explained Myth vs. fact. My great niece Aurora will enjoy. Love teaching the young about other cultures and wonders of the world! Recommend!

  • Nice folktale
Beautiful pictures and interesting folktale but I bought this thinking it may have some actual facts or information about the Aurora borealis which it does not. That was disappointing but the story was sweet nonetheless

  • A sweet story
I bought this book knowing nothing about it and just hoped for the best as my daughter was having a baby and chose the name Aurora. This book Exceeded my expectations as it was well written and was an adorable story of a girl who found her light inside of her.

  • I wanted the child to know about the aurora borealis and was delighted to find this book
My sister's first grandchild is a little girl named Aurora. I wanted the child to know about the aurora borealis and was delighted to find this book. From the front cover to the written description, the book sounded charming so I had it shipped directly to my sister. I haven't actually seen the book but my sister says both she and our little Aurora are really enjoying it. Just looking at pictures at this point but will be able to read it together for years as skills - and attention span - improve. ... show more
