Purchase options and add-ons

The forest calls, and creatures come:

big and small, one by one.

They sense there is a task to do

as night descends, replacing blue.

On one bright winter night, a group of woodland creatures emerges from the forest. Despite their differences, they start to build something together, using items found on the forest floor. What are they making? And how quickly can they build it? Something special is happening tonight, and soon the animals are off―in a race to catch a glimpse of one of nature’s most astounding wonders! With lyrical text and sparkling artwork, Bright Winter Night is a celebration of the joy and beauty of nature and the special gift of friendship and togetherness.

From the Publisher

"A magnetic portrait of woodland camaraderie." -Publishers Weekly

Cover image for BRIGHT WINTER NIGHT

The illustrations steal a piece of my heart every time I read it. -Marilyn Brigham, Editor

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2-Rhyming couplets tell the tale of a diverse assemblage of forest animals sharing a magical winter night. Working as a team, a stag, bear, beaver, squirrel, mouse, rabbits, birds, and wolves all cooperate in constructing a sled: "Together they have built this sleigh, no one hunter, no one prey." They put together the comfortable, iconic winter vehicle in order to travel to a forest clearing where they can participate in another group activity-reveling in the dazzling show of the northern lights. Watercolor, both paint and pencil, along with digital media, create a mainly blue and white color scheme with touches of brown, pink, and gray. The animal's names are all in capital letters, and the placement of the poetic text varies from page to page throughout. Rounded, cartoon-style creatures have eyes reminiscent of Jon Klassen's Bear and cooperate harmoniously as a Peaceable Kingdom-type of community. VERDICT This winter tale would work well for dusky afternoon story hours in December or a bedtime story; the muted illustrations and the text, which has a perfect scan and beat, begin energetically but slow to soothing, steady levels as the animals settle down to sleep.-Maryann H. Owenα(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.

Alli Briden’s Bright Winter Night is a true gem of a find. Ashling Lindsay’s art is playful, vibrant, and relatable for children.

Amazon First Reads is a Prime member program. In November, get early access to a new Kindle book, FREE for Prime members and only $1.99 for everyone else.

What I also discovered is a point system when buying Kindle and Hardcover that gets rebates. What I wouldn’t do to get back dated perks 😁

What I like most about the book besides the art is how the flow vibes poetry.

The segments of info are short leaving room to explore the visuals.

For an activity, this would be a fun book to add pages. Meaning pick animals that aren’t mentioned. Add poetic details for each like how to book embraces each animal’s unique qualities through creative writing and art.

Great read for this time of year with children. Reminds me of Jan Britt’s The Mitten for the landscape and many cold weather animals.

If you can snag this for free hurry while the offer lasts.

The illustrations are very nice. They set the scenes and atmosphere of the story beautifully. The rhymes have a choppy cadence and unimaginative wording that fall short of the excellent sketches.

Alli Brydon’s beautiful, engaging poetry and Ashling Lindsay’s gorgeous illustrations blend so well together to create this story of a group of forest animals whose goal is to build a sleigh to transport them to share a magical experience. You can feel the warmth of their friendship as they work together and enjoy their adventure on a cold winter night where they are rewarded in this “Bright Winter Night”. This book can be enjoyed at many age levels. Younger children will love the rhythms of the phrases as they are read to and enjoy seeing the sweet animals play in the snow. What child doesn’t like to play in the snow? As well as the magical lights that light up the night. Older children will also appreciate the meaning behind working together towards achieving the rewards of a magical experience.
