This book was written by the author because her favorite childhood activity was catching fireflies in her front yard with her sisters. The fireflies would fly through the trees and past us in our yard. We couldn't wait to snag one in a jar and examine the bright, glowing, flickering light. It was as if the fireflies wanted to let us know they were present. In My Firefly Friend, one little girl has a special Firefly who visits her every night, glowing just outside her window as she is tucked into her bed ready to sleep. Although she very much wants to catch him with her jar,she also appreciates his beauty as he flits freely through the night, returning to visit when he knows she is waiting for him.
