Lise and Lasse-sister and brother-live at the very top of Norway, when they look at the globe of the world at school, seemingly at the very top of the world. Long out of print, Children of the Northlights introduces readers young and old to siblings Lise and Lasse and to the unique Sami people and culture of northern Scandinavia. At times mischievous and at others quite courageous, Lise and Lasse, and their Sami culture, are brought brilliantly to life in the captivating text and illustrations of Ingri and Edgar Parin d'Aulaire.
