{"product_id":"9781554981380","title":"Once Upon a Northern Night","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this exquisite lullaby, a parent paints a picture of a northern winter night for their sleeping child, describing the beauty of a snowfall, the wild animals that appear in the garden, the twinkling stars, the gentle rhythm of the northern lights and the etchings of frost on the window pane. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs the young child sleeps, wrapped in a downy blanket, a snowflake falls, and then another and another. The parent describes the forest of snow-covered pines, seeing a deer and fawn nibbling a frozen apple, a great gray owl swooping down with its feathers trailing through the snow. Two snowshoe hare scamper and play under the watchful eyes of a little fox, and a tiny mouse scurries in search of a midnight feast. When the snow clouds disappear, stars light up the sky, followed by the magical shimmering of the northern lights — all framed by the frost on the window.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJean E. Pendziwol’s lyrical poem reflects a deep appreciation of a northern winter night, a desire to share it with her sleeping child and the love that underlies that wish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIsabelle Arsenault’s spare, beautifully rendered illustrations, with their subtle but striking use of color, make us feel that we too are experiencing the enchantment of that northern night.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Groundwood Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049137881328,"sku":"9781554981380","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781554981380_p0.jpg?v=1763755602","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781554981380","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
