Among a Thousand Fireflies

Written by Helen Frost, Photographs by Rick Lieder

There is a sweetness to this simple story told in poetic prose. The photographs are lovely and give a close up view of a firefly. Readers should not think that this book will give them facts on fireflies. For that information, they will have to go elsewhere. But for a quick read on a summer evening, this book will do nicely.
