(3) K-3 Illustrated by Helen K. Davie. Esbensen's poem in celebration of the northern lights incorporates images from the aurora borealis legends of many ancient cultures, including white geese, dancers, whales, and battles. Luminescent illustrations in a subdued palette attempt to interpret the evocative descriptions. Notes about the legends as well as a scientific explanation of the northern lights are included.
