Aurora Borealis - even the way the words roll off your tongue is awe-inspiring. I find this phenomenon (as I'm sure many of you do as well) absolutely magical, mysterious, and breath taking - a miraculous creation of our amazing God. One night, about a year ago, we had friends over who live in Alaska. It was wonderful hearing their first hand experience of witnessing this marvel. I was amazed that the colors aren't stationary. They move like flowing water. If you are looking to share this beautiful happening with your kids here are some resources.

The Lights that Dance in the Night shares how the Northern Lights happen. The artwork is gorgeous!

Cozy doesn't talk about the Northern Lights, but Jan Brett allows some of their beauty to shine through in the illustrations of her classic musk ox tale.

. The first few minutes you'll hear the Scandinavian videographer speak, but then she goes silent and the beauty of the colors shines through.
