Under Alaska's Midnight Sun (PAWS IV)

About this book

In the far northern parts of the world near and above the Arctic Circle summer days are very long. In Barrow Alaska for example the sun rises in May and sets 83 days later in early August. During this time the sun shines all through the night. People call it the midnight sun. When the midnight sun is shining people and animals stay active even at night. This sweet poetic narrative illustrated by award-winner Jeremiah Trammell showcases the many pleasures of this unique time as a little girl dances fishes plays games watches moose and fox and communes with family and nature.
