Fly, Firefly
SLEEPING BEAR PRESS
One evening at dusk a wind current carries a lone firefly out over the sea. Glancing down
into the water, the insect is mesmerized by the glowing bioluminescence, mistaking it
for other fireflies. Seeking company, the firefly plunges into the waves. Luckily, there
are human bystanders who can lend a hand. Based on an event witnessed by nature
writer and ecologist Rachel Carson (The Sea Around Us and Silent Spring) where a
firefly attempts to join its “family” in the ocean, this lyrical story written in verse perfectly
illustrates the wonder and delight the natural world offers those who pay close enough
attention.

Everybody’s Tree
SLEEPING BEAR PRESS
Over the course of eighty years a spruce tree grows, along with the little boy who first
selected it at a tree farm. As the tree grows from sapling to magnificent evergreen, the
child matures as well, becoming a father and then grandfather. Now at the end of its life,
the glorious tree is chosen to be the centerpiece of a city’s holiday celebration. The tree
journeys from rural countryside to big city center, where everyone, young and old, comes
together to celebrate a tree for all; everybody’s tree.
