What's Firefly About

Publisher Summary

From two of the U.K.’s best-known book makers, Robert Macfarlane and Luke Adam Hawker, comes a stunning picture book to ignite wonder in readers everywhere. In the darkness of December, Through the winter’s deepest snowing, When the world is ste ep in camber, And all hope is downwards-flowing Then’s the time to seek what’s glowing… Written in lyrical verse, this story follows one sun-seeking child who discovers a meadow illuminated by fireflies: “fallen constellations” that dance like stars among the summer grasses, setting fears to flight. Enchanting to read aloud and exquisite to hold in the hand, each scene is rendered in spellbinding detail, showing the power of hope in a world steeped in darkness. The first in a trilogy, Firefly is sure to appeal to all ages: An uplifting and lyrical story of light, hope, and wonderWith words from beloved and New York Times bestselling author Robert Macfarlane, creator of The Lost Words and The Lost SpellsStunning artwork created from original etchings by Luke Adam Hawker, whose debut book Together was a Sunday Times bestsellerSpectacular gift book, cloth bound with a copper foiled coverThis accessible story is perfect for children and adults, ages 7 and above
