“This simple, delightful story of two fireflies finding each other among thousands is sure to enchant children.” — School Library Journal
On a starry summer evening, a firefly lands on a flower. Lights start to flash all around her — first one, then hundreds. Thousands. How will she find just one flash among them? In evocative photographs and lyrical language, Rick Lieder and Helen Frost offer a story of how two fireflies come together after finding each other’s light among thousands of others.
