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.
