The North Wind, the North Star, and the Northern Lights are majestic and magical characters, but that doesn’t stop them from having problems any young reader can relate to, from loneliness to the frustrations of figuring out a difficult task. The beautiful paint and pencil artwork brings the magic of the North Pole to life, juxtaposing the warmth and color of the elves to the icy whites and blues of the Arctic. The old-style method of illustration complements the classic winter themesand characters, resulting in a story that feels timeless and familiar.
