Description The portrayal of a simpler life and timeless appreciation of nature are poetically knitted together in The Grandest Night Show.
They sit down in their front row seats and prepare to watch the Grandest Night Show from the top of the mountain..
When they reach their destination, they prepare a campfire and a place to sleep.
They drink cold water as it runs over a cliff, pick wildflowers, and keep an eye out for ginseng.
Their faces are laced with sunlight and shadow.
The next day she walks with Mama and Papa along a winding trail.
Papa tells her that tomorrow night, they will see a Night Show at the top of the mountain.
She pleads with Papa to take her to the top of the mountain so she can see a sunset.
She has never seen a sunset because the hollow where she lives is surrounded by the Appalachian Mountains.
She catches little magical lights until the inside of her jar dances like a Night show.
She dances like a ballerina as she catches lightning bugs.
She hears the crickets and the whippoorwill and can answer the call of the Night owl.
She loves the Night sounds in the hollow and can recognize each one.
You just have to sit still long enough to watch it.
Papa tells his daughter that every day in the summer there\'s a Night show.
