Today at the library, I discovered a beautiful book about the Winter Solstice that I want to share with you!

The Longest Night by Marion Dane Bauer tells the story of the snow-filled forest on the longest night of the year. Who will be able to bring back the sun?
Accompanied by beautiful watercolor pictures, this sweet story ends: “And with the song of one small bird and the sun’s answering smile the journey toward spring begins.”
This book would be the perfect family read aloud in the midst of all the hustle and bustle.

Happy Solstice to all!
Sounds just delightful. I ordered it from our library system. Thank you. Have a beautiful day!
Oh, I think you’ll really like it! Different animals gruffly say they’ll bring back the sun, but the wind sighs “not you.” I love those little chickadees!
Thanks for the book recommendation! I had not seen this one, but it looks lovely. Happy Solstice!
Yes, the book is lovely. Enjoy the returning light, just a little bit each day!
