Dark Emperor and Other Poems of the Night)

fleeing a deadly pogrom in their Russian village

If an Egyptian Cannot Speak English is at once ravishing and wry

and on the seventh day the farmer brought out the yoke and plow

Is drinking poppy seed tea risky

The Weather Keeper English/Spanish Dark Emperor and Other PoemsPoetic, atmospheric, and inspired by a true story, this picture book about family, calling, and belonging tells of an Icelandic weather keeper in a world of ice, sea, and sky. As the aurora borealis dances across the sky, a weather keeper crosses the icy plains to measure the temperatures at the edge of the world. Every three hours, she records movement and pressure, and if it s warmer or cooler, to keep the seafarers, farmers, and community safe.
