Description
In the blink of an eye, the fireflies are forced to leave their field and find a safe place where they can make a new home: a light at the end of the way. But it's a difficult journey, full of seemingly impossible obstacles, which only the love that binds the family together can overcome. This emotional tale of feelings and identity leads us through the darkness into the light of a better future.
Reviews
"(...)The distinctive feel of stone-paper pages is a grounding complement to the uprooted nature of this narrative about a group of people involuntarily searching for a new home. For those who have lost home; for those who will always be searching." Kirkus Reviews
