Long out of print, \u003ci\u003eChildren of the Northlights\u003c\/i\u003e introduces readers young and old to siblings Lise and Lasse and to the captivating Sami people and culture of northern Scandinavia. At times mischievous and at others quite courageous, Lisa and Lasse, and their Sami culture, are brought brilliantly to life in the d'Aulaires' illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis remarkable sister and brother live at the very top of Norway--to Lise and Lasse, seemingly at the very top of the world. All bundled up against the polar winter in their coats of fur and furry shoes, they look at times like two little bears rolling in the snow. Beneath the bright dancing of the northern lights, we follow Lise and Lasse as they enjoy the long winter days and polar nights: playing pranks on their family, chasing and playing with their reindeer Silverside and Snowwhitedeer, skiing, taking hot saunas to stay clean, and staying warm while snowstorms rage across the land. Lise and Lasse hunker down in their warm tent and wait for the sun to return, which, of course, it always does. When the sun comes back in spring, it's time to go to school in the village (which Lise and Lasse happily do only after instructing their dogs to take very good care of Silverside and Snowwhitedeer while they're away).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspired directly by a remarkable journey the d'Aulaires took to northern Europe and their time spent among the Sami, \u003ci\u003eChildren of the Northlights\u003c\/i\u003e is a brightly illustrated portrait and celebration of the Sami people, culture, and snow-covered landscapes of the frozen north, from two of the twentieth century's greatest storytellers. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Univ Of Minnesota Press","offers":[{"title":"Children of the Northlights | Ingri D'Aulaire | Hardcover | 9780816679232 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks J 1759283","offer_id":49199685468312,"sku":"1759283","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71Cb4CD2rOL.jpg?v=1780696911","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/children-of-the-northlights","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
