Alaskan writer, Brooke Hartman, and Alaskan artist, Evon Zerbetz, illuminate the dark of winter with their children's book, Dream Flights on Arctic Nights. This tale sends readers on a flying dreamland adventure. Into a dark arctic night, the child soars over a multitude of Alaskan creatures. The artwork on each page really sets this book apart as vibrant colors practically light up the subject matter against a black backdrop using a linocut technique.

The story reads with poetic ease as the rhymes provide discovery and interaction between the dreaming child and the animals below. This book is a perfect nighttime snuggle-up story, perhaps providing children the necessary dream fuel for their own Alaskan journey. I love children's stories that bring not just a book, but a visual and literary piece of art into your home. I find this to be such a book, and I'm proud to have it in my Alaskan library.
