Concept statement

The Longest, Darkest Night is an illustrated children's story about the rarest of winter nights, a total eclipse of the moon during Winter Solstice.

The wonders of nature, celestial cycles and the "humanness" of animals are part of this modern fable. Fear of the dark and the unknown, collaboration, generosity and the wisdom of the elders are underlying themes. The story is presented in first person, present tense, creating an inclusive and action-packed reading experience. Extensive back matter includes scientific notes, thumbnail backgrounds for each character, a book list and coloring pages.

The delightful illustrations by famed Northwest artist Leslie W. LePere include recognizable representations of animals, trees and events on Earth and in the sky. The rich images and sing-along interactivity bring even more personal engagement as they become integrated into e-books, audiobooks and other smart technologies.

Story synopsis

The story begins as the forest community gathers to celebrate Winter Solstice, which is interrupted when a lunar eclipse begins.

At first, the moon appears to have a bite taken out, over time she goes completely dark. The trees loose their moon-shadows altogether. What is going to happen? The moon turns orange, then red. Everyone is scared. The animals wonder if the moon is on fire and will crash into the Earth. Clues to the story are nicely snuggled into the enchanting illustrations.

Finally, exhausted by fear, the animals hear the wind-whispers of Grandfather Cedar reassure them everything will turnout okay and he explains the eclipse. As they share this magical moment, the animals begin singing the Song of Solstice, and together they look forward to brighter days ahead. In the end, they remind themselves, "Things usually go better when we listen to our elders."

Back-matter bonus

Scientific Notes about the Moon, celestial cycles and eclipses plus interesting facts about nocturnal creatures add value to the book. Topics include, how the moon was formed, a list of nocturnal animals and many links to facilitate personal exploration. Back-matter for The Longest, Darkest Night has been peer-reviewed for accuracy by the Department of Astronomy, University of Washington.

Style classic
Color: Silver
A neat watch, I was a career soldier and I remember getting a few different military style watches, mostly made by Timex. I was in supply so had access to them, often the style was the same and sometimes not. Item was packed well and arrived fast great price

Decent watch for the price - you get what you pay for
Color: Black
This watch is about what I expected for the price. It's comfortable to wear and is keeping time reasonably well thus far. Illumination on the hands and dial fades after a couple of hours and setting the day of the week does not work (it will not advance - day just sort of "bounces" in the window - although the day changes on its own). Given the reviews I read, I take it off before showering and avoid getting it wet when washing my hands, as I don't trust the water resistance. EDIT: After posting the generally positive review above, the seller messaged me offering a replacement on their own initiative and allowing me to keep the original watch. I did not expect that but accepted their offer. Upon receiving the replacement, I discovered that the problem setting the day of the week was user error and not a problem with the 1st watch. My only criticism of the watch remains that the illumination fades within an hour or two (I held it next to a 150W lamp bulb for 30 seconds) but I am willing to live with that and believe the watch is a good value. I increased my rating from 3-stars to 5-stars on the strength of the great customer support and what I think is the value proposition for a very comfortable, easy to read, $20 watch. I would buy again.

Almost great
Color: Black
Watch is well made, and has mineral crystal, not plastic. It fits nice and is comfortable. The bad is that the watch has virtually no luminous qualities and the day and date is hard to read. Other than that it is a great value if you can get by with the small characters on the watch face. The crown is not screw down and can occasionally pull out so the time changes

Good little watch, bear in mind the price point that it is at that though.
Color: Black
The design I love. It’s minimal, not flashy, but good looking all around. It is a matte black finish, which looks pretty good. The glass definitely seems to be scratch resistant in the first couple days I’ve been wearing it. not 100% precise with setting the time with the dial, but after a couple times, I got it to be right on point. It has stayed on time the last couple days. However, if you look at the price point of this item, it is cheap. The material does feel high-quality, not made of the Chineseium that you’d find on crap these days. The date and day of the week, however, seem to be stuck, and some of the days that I saw by manually reversing the hands were misspelled. If you’re not bothered by those things, this seems to be a good watch for the money. Just keep in mind it’s not perfect.

"Stylish and Functional Guess Wallet!"
This is a fantastic wallet that combines style and practicality! The sleek black design features the iconic Quattro G monogram print on the leather (or faux-leather). It has a contrasting stripe with the "GUESS" logo on the front, giving it a modern and sophisticated edge. Despite its slim, compact silhouette, it offers great organization. It typically includes multiple card slots, slip pockets, a clear ID window, and a full-size bill compartment, providing ample space for all your essentials while keeping a flat profile in your pocket. Many customers appreciate the durable material and the high-end look without the high-end price. It often comes in a gift box, making it an ideal present for any occasion. Overall, it's a stylish and functional accessory that reflects the brand's fashionable legacy.
