Description: Månblomma, en ung flicka från Centralasien, upplever årstidernas växlingar där långa sommardagar bleknar och försvinner in i en kall, mörk vinter. Folket i Månblommas by samlas för att tillsammans ge solen det mod hon behöver för att slå tillbaka mörkret och åter bli himlens härskare.
Brief description: Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia and Colorado, Saskia currently lives in Germany with her husband and three sons, who inspire me with their questions and curiosity. When they were younger, they often asked her why it got dark so early in the winter; the shamanistic explanation of the winter solstice, that night and day are battling each other to prevail over the Earth, is the explanation that made the most sense to them. Previously, Saskia worked as an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher for immigrants, refugees, and the Hard of Hearing. She has published academic ESL articles in industry books and journals, and has also published one novel titled Secrets of a Summer Village. This is her first illustrated children's book.
