"Named for the Northern Lights, Aurora faces a woeful plight. To many lands she must roam, searching for her true home.
Come along as author Holly Hardin conjures a mystical world of adventure, sprites, and magical charms. After losing her parents, little Aurora sets off on her own. Because she’s different, Aurora finds it difficult to find anyone who will listen to her story, even at Christmas time. As her story continues, Aurora receives special gifts to keep her safe and important clues to find her new home.
Follow the journey as Aurora encounters a host of creatures along the way—including one very famous bearded man. What follows in this beautifully illustrated and delightfully written book is a heartwarming story of a home lost and found—and a Christmas lesson for us all."
This is a great Christmas story! It's the first book I've accepted for review in this "children's literature" genre — and I'm so glad I did. A quick read for you and I — but a beautiful story about accepting others and finding your own path. I highly recommend this book to any one with a young child learning how to read. The rhymes are fun and the pictures are vividly beautiful to look at.
I will not be passing this book on. I will add this to my collection for my 'future' children or cousins who will be learning to read. Really — this is a great children's story. Santa Clause even makes an appearance! But if you wanted to delve deeper into the analogy, you could. Highlighting three different cultures — this book could potentially be a great diversity read as well for children of a young age. Highly recommend.
