Description
Leslie is new to the Arctic, and no one told her there would be so much snow, and so many interesting things to see. Along with her new friend Oolipika, Leslie soon discovers one of the Arctic’s most unique and breathtaking natural wonders, the northern lights.
This contemporary narrative introduces young readers to an Inuit legend about the northern lights, followed by an epilogue that explains the science behind this amazing phenomenon.
"Painted Skies not only finds a way to demonstrate the richness of the northern lights but also convey the Inuit tale of its origins . . . ." - CanLit for Little Canadians
About the authors
Carolyn Mallory vit à Iqaluit, où elle partage son temps entre son travail à la bibliothèque et l’écriture. Depuis son arrivée au Nunavut, en 1999, elle a consacré une grande partie de son temps à se renseigner sur la nature qui l’entoure. Cet ouvrage est son deuxième, après le très populaire Plantes communes du Nunavut, qu’elle a rédigé en collaboration avec Susan Aiken. L’étude des insectes lui semblait une suite naturelle à l’étude des plantes. Carolyn travaille actuellement à plusieurs projets de fiction et elle a publié son premier poème cette année.
