Beautiful bedtime book

This warm story of a mother firefly allaying her child's fears of the dark is basic enough for even the youngest to grasp and is a perfect bedtime book. Heavy cardboard pages make it easy for tiny fingers to turn and the working firefly light offers interaction and imbues a soft, amber light on the artwork by Ande Cook. Each page is a beautiful painting of the world as seen through the eye of the young firefly, and on each turn of the page, the sky gradually darkens from a fiery sunset to an indigo night. Ande's eye for color and sweetness of her characters makes this book a real treasure to revisit over many bedtimes.
