“Destined to be a favorite bedtime read-aloud.” —Kirkus Reviews “Awash in shades of purple, blue, and pink, [Ashling] Lindsay’s watercolor and digital artwork project the magic evoked by Brydon’s smooth rhymes, illuminating a magnetic portrait of woodland camaraderie.” —Publishers Weekly “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.” —School Library Journal “With a truly lyrical text by author/storyteller Alli Brydon and the sparkling artwork by artist/illustrator Ashling Lindsay, Bright Winter Night is a celebration of the joy and beauty of nature and the special gift of friendship and togetherness.” —Midwest Book Review
