Item Description

Bid on this autographed copy of "Aurora Means Dawn"!

With bold strokes of color and detail, Scott Russell Sanders and Jill Kastner offer children a rich opportunity to participate imaginatively in history. Focusing on the hopes and hardships faced by one family, they provide a story that echoes the experiences of countless pioneers—men, women, and children—who left their homes in the East to travel to largely unknown and unsettled lands. 

On the Ohio frontier in the early 1800s, with help from folks in a neighboring village, the Sheldons began a new settlement, which they called Aurora, the Latin word for dawn. There are many towns and great cities across America that arose, like Aurora, from such hopeful beginnings.

This resonant picture book gives children a vivid, personalized understanding of how our nation came to be. 

Scott Russell Sanders is a local Bloomington, IN novelist and essayist. He is the author of more than 20 works of fiction and nonfiction.
