(4) K-3 Illustrated by Lee White. In the Arctic winter a girl and her grandfather bemoan the lack of color: everything is a shade of white and the days are as dark as night. But hope returns one night when, from the top of a hill, they view the swirling colors of the aurora borealis. The text is lyrical and evocative, but the book depends on some questionable assumptions about Arctic cultures.
