How can a little bug love the night when the shadows feel so big? In The Brave Little Firefly , children will meet Flicker, a tiny firefly with a big problem: he is afraid of the dark! While all the other fireflies are out dancing in the moonbeams and playing hide-and-seek in the tall grass, Flicker stays tucked away inside a flower petal, wishing he felt just a little bit braver. He doesn't realize that he carries a secret weapon right inside him—a beautiful, golden light that is just waiting to be seen. A Journey Through the Shadows to a Night of Wonder This enchanting and glowing tale follows Flicker on a night when a friend gets lost in the deep, dark woods. Realizing that his friends need him, Flicker has to make a choice: stay safe and hidden, or trust his own light. This story beautifully illustrates that courage isn't the absence of fear , but the decision to help someone else even when you’re afraid.
