I cannot adequately put into words how powerful this book's message is for people everywhere or how exquisitely written it is either. I have so many feelings about this beautiful, heart-wrenching story. This is going to be a book that lives in my head rent free. I'm going to recommend it to everyone cause I feel like it is a truly underrated book and more people need to read it.

This is a sweet little book about a Firefly named Clementine that doesn't know what she is and is lost, and a little girl who helps her find her way. It is a cute little read accompanied by beautiful art that'd be a nice, comforting bedtime read for a little one. While I enjoyed it though, I will say that my only issues were a.) it doesn't tell you what type of bug Clementine is by the end of the book and b.) the art can be a little too dark in some spots so Clementine's glow doesn't stand out as well as it should. However, I would say those are small things in the grand scheme and doesn't take away from the overall enjoyment of the book. If you have a little one that likes reading stories with bugs and/ore fireflies in general, I'd suggest picking up this one.
