Illustrated by
Isabelle Arsenault.
"Once upon a northern night while you lay sleeping, wrapped in a downy blanket, I painted you a picture." A loving narrator creates a vivid word-picture of the scene outside a sleeping child's window: snow falls on yard and trees, woodland creatures visit, and the northern lights appear. Wintry mixed-media illustrations, with eye-catching touches of color, complement the poetic text.
