Off the Beaded Path

With this post I venture into different territory; promoting a new book, The Night of Many Lights, by Christine Lindemer.

A couple years ago I shared a photo on this blog of the weathervane planted firmly in my back rock garden. I’ve wondered at times if it wouldn’t rather be on a rooftop somewhere with a better view. Do weathervane’s care about such things? Perhaps.  About a year ago, atop an old barn in New England, I saw the weathervane featured in The Night of Many Lights. This delightful book is a treat for the imagination and I encourage you to give it a look, especially if you have children. They’ll adore the clever narrative, endearing characters and beautiful illustrations by Laura Redmond…

Ne-Pah-Win, a Native American weather vane, is magically awoken from 100 years of sleep and is freed and transformed for a nighttime flying adventure. New friends are found on other barn rooftops, and together they fly far and wide in all four weather vane directions.
