What Does The Firefly Have?

by Alisha Berger

As she flies through the forest, a small firefly admires all the animals she passes by. The grasshopper in the green grass, the butterfly spreading out its wings, the weaver-bird swaying in its woven nest, and the spider swinging across the trees. The small firefly is envious. Why can’t she be as beautiful as the other animals? Can you help the firefly discover the beauty she brings to the forest?

A glowing, gentle story for any child who feels they don't measure up — the firefly's discovery that her own light is a gift is quietly reassuring.
