Concept statement

The Longest, Darkest Night is an illustrated children's story about the rarest of winter nights, a total eclipse of the moon during Winter Solstice.

The wonders of nature, celestial cycles and the "humanness" of animals are part of this modern fable. Fear of the dark and the unknown, collaboration, generosity and the wisdom of the elders are underlying themes. The story is presented in first person, present tense, creating an inclusive and action-packed reading experience. Extensive back matter includes scientific notes, thumbnail backgrounds for each character, a book list and coloring pages.

The delightful illustrations by famed Northwest artist Leslie W. LePere include recognizable representations of animals, trees and events on Earth and in the sky. The rich images and sing-along interactivity bring even more personal engagement as they become integrated into e-books, audiobooks and other smart technologies.

Story synopsis

The story begins as the forest community gathers to celebrate Winter Solstice, which is interrupted when a lunar eclipse begins.

At first, the moon appears to have a bite taken out, over time she goes completely dark. The trees loose their moon-shadows altogether. What is going to happen? The moon turns orange, then red. Everyone is scared. The animals wonder if the moon is on fire and will crash into the Earth. Clues to the story are nicely snuggled into the enchanting illustrations.

Finally, exhausted by fear, the animals hear the wind-whispers of Grandfather Cedar reassure them everything will turnout okay and he explains the eclipse. As they share this magical moment, the animals begin singing the Song of Solstice, and together they look forward to brighter days ahead. In the end, they remind themselves, "Things usually go better when we listen to our elders."

Back-matter bonus

Scientific Notes about the Moon, celestial cycles and eclipses plus interesting facts about nocturnal creatures add value to the book. Topics include, how the moon was formed, a list of nocturnal animals and many links to facilitate personal exploration. Back-matter for The Longest, Darkest Night has been peer-reviewed for accuracy by the Department of Astronomy, University of Washington.

Perfect size, perfect pillow.
Size: Queen (High Loft), Number of Items: 1
For me, This pillow is the be all and end all when it comes to comfort. I simply melt into luxurious sleep. I have had a bad neck since my early 20’s, so a pillow that doesn’t fit me, can break me. I have spent soooo much money on pillows trying to find The One. Foam is the only way to go in that regard. Another aspect about this pillow that is particularly important to me is how well it fits into my satin pillow case, with no room to slide around, or for the material to bunch up. I allowed the pillow to air on a chair for 24 hours before use, but am still getting a slight odor.

Medium firmness is too flat
Size: Standard (Mid Loft), Number of Items: 1
I got the medium firmness, and it is much flatter than it appears in the photo. I like the feeling and firmness of it, but the height is too flat and causes my neck to strain. I had to return.

LOVE IT !
Size: Queen (Mid Loft), Number of Items: 1
I love this pillow. It is just right, firm enough yet soft. My head sinks in and is very comfortable. When I lift my head, the pillow bounces right back into shape. If it lasts, I will buy my family each a pillow as it is wonderful. I woke up with zero neck pain as I typically did when using a standard foam pillow. There is a very light scent yet when I covered the pillow with a protector casing and then a cotton case, there was zero scent. I highly recommend. Especially when compared to the comfort of a very expensive latex pillow my husband uses.

Dream pillow
I’ve been using latex pillows for over 30 years, and I can’t find them in local stores anymore. I’ve been needing to replace my pillow and finally decided to try this one. There are so many options on Amazon that it’s overwhelming. But this standard low loft pillow ended up being PERFECT. It feels amazing and just like the pillows I’ve been using since childhood. It is soft but cradles my head and neck perfectly. For me, it’s like sleeping on a gentle cloud. Very happy with my purchase. (Yes, it does have a slight latex odor. That is normal due to the material. It’s not very strong and it doesn’t bother me).
