Concept statement

The Longest, Darkest Night is an illustrated children's story about the rarest of winter nights, a total eclipse of the moon during Winter Solstice.

The wonders of nature, celestial cycles and the "humanness" of animals are part of this modern fable. Fear of the dark and the unknown, collaboration, generosity and the wisdom of the elders are underlying themes. The story is presented in first person, present tense, creating an inclusive and action-packed reading experience. Extensive back matter includes scientific notes, thumbnail backgrounds for each character, a book list and coloring pages.

The delightful illustrations by famed Northwest artist Leslie W. LePere include recognizable representations of animals, trees and events on Earth and in the sky. The rich images and sing-along interactivity bring even more personal engagement as they become integrated into e-books, audiobooks and other smart technologies.

Story synopsis

The story begins as the forest community gathers to celebrate Winter Solstice, which is interrupted when a lunar eclipse begins.

At first, the moon appears to have a bite taken out, over time she goes completely dark. The trees loose their moon-shadows altogether. What is going to happen? The moon turns orange, then red. Everyone is scared. The animals wonder if the moon is on fire and will crash into the Earth. Clues to the story are nicely snuggled into the enchanting illustrations.

Finally, exhausted by fear, the animals hear the wind-whispers of Grandfather Cedar reassure them everything will turnout okay and he explains the eclipse. As they share this magical moment, the animals begin singing the Song of Solstice, and together they look forward to brighter days ahead. In the end, they remind themselves, "Things usually go better when we listen to our elders."

Back-matter bonus

Scientific Notes about the Moon, celestial cycles and eclipses plus interesting facts about nocturnal creatures add value to the book. Topics include, how the moon was formed, a list of nocturnal animals and many links to facilitate personal exploration. Back-matter for The Longest, Darkest Night has been peer-reviewed for accuracy by the Department of Astronomy, University of Washington.

Solid sneakers—worth it on a good discount
Size: 9, Color: Vintage Indigo Canvas/Natural
These sneakers are solid overall. They look good and feel comfortable for everyday use, and the quality is what I’d expect from the brand. One thing to note: if you have to walk a lot, they can start to feel less comfortable on the top of the foot (upper area). It’s not a dealbreaker, but you’ll notice it on longer days. That said, they’re definitely worth it if you catch a really good discount.

Comfy but ouch!
Size: 11, Color: Stormcloud Canvas/Sleet, Size: 11, Color: Stormcloud Canvas/Sleet
Nice style that keeps its shape, comfy insoles, true to size. I got the grey color at size 11. However the back part of the shoe ripped into my skin. I had to wear band aides after the first day of walking during our vacation. So wear sock that cover the back ankle. Otherwise, I like these shoes.
