Mindy Dwyer — новинки

When the queen of the King Salmon Fishery meets a talking salmon, she is told that a much-wished-for daughter will be born. But at the birth ceremony, one of the guests makes the pronouncement that the girl--named Alyeska--will choke on a salmon bone and die! But a wise old midwife speaks up to say that the girl will sleep for a long, long time and wake when her time is right. Even though the kingdom is built on salmon fishing, all fish is forbidden from the royal household. But one day, Aleyska wanders into the woods and discovers a salmon-smoking house, where she tastes the forbidden food.

Mindy Dwyer captures the magic of the Northern Lights in a story that is written like a legend passed down through generations. With her bright, luminous illustrations and clear language, Dwyer tells the story of Aurora, a young girl who takes a journey of discovery and collects the colors from the sky to comfort her.
