Follow a child's dreamy flight through the Arctic and discover the
animals that live there, from the wolves prowling through the snow to
the goats and sheep leaping across mountains, to walrus and sea lions
lying on icebergs.
Children's Book Review, Best Picture Books of 2019
"Dramatic rhythm, matched by spectacular linocut illustrations with
black backgrounds, glowing colors, and exaggerated perspectives that
suggest a surreal dream world. The child has beige skin and dark hair
and eyes. The setting is indicated by the title and arctic wildlife and
by a simple map of the Arctic Ocean on the wall of the child's cozy
bedroom. This stunning interpretation of a fascinating region soars with
polished poetry and striking, memorable art."
--Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
"The deep desire to fly inspires a child's Alaskan dream in this lushly
illustrated rhyming book. . . The simple rhymes match well with the
linocut illustrations by Zerbetz, whose thick lines give dimension to
colorful stars and beasts. The images seem to leap from the page."
--WSU Magazine
At night, just as the moon climbs high, I make a wish that I could
fly.
Told in singsong rhymes and colorfully illustrated with gorgeous linocut
art, Dream Flights on Arctic Nights is a beautiful bedtime story for
children to explore the Arctic before drifting off to sleep.
