Aurora and the Whispering Jewels: A South Pole Christmas Story by Ed Morykwas (Author), Phoebe Cho (Illustrator) 

Sparkly, dreamy, and delightful; a whimsical tale bursting with magic, holiday cheer, and the power of dreams.

Morykwas merges science and holiday enchantment in the thrilling tale of Aurora Periwinkle, a scientist stationed in Antarctica. While studying the frigid landscape, Aurora stumbles upon magical jewels containing children’s dreams. As the Dreamweaver of the South Pole, she teams up with none other than Santa Claus himself to spread joy through gifts and dreams.

Morykwas’ prose is engaging and thoughtful, particularly in how it weaves themes of loneliness, curiosity, and kindness into a narrative fit for children. Aurora’s journey will inspire readers to see that even in the coldest corners of the world, warmth can be found through compassion and dreams. The integration of science and magic adds a unique twist, encouraging young minds to explore both the wonders of our world and their own imaginations. Phoebe Cho’s illustrations beautifully capture the magic of both poles, with soft, glowing colors that enhance the dreamlike atmosphere of the story. With its seamless blend of holiday cheer and science, this book delivers an important message about finding one’s place in the world and using kindness to make it brighter. Perfect for children who love Christmas magic, science, and stories about unique, empowered characters.
