Publisher: Tielmour Press
Print Length: 32 pages
Lilly and Leo think it's super to catch fireflies and salamanders—and even more exciting, as they plan to bring their glowing nature finds to show-and-tell the next day. They have a change of heart when Grandma's wisdom guides the children to respect the freedom and light of the natural life in all living things.
Excerpt
Lilly calls, “Leo, come look! Now I have a salamander to bring to show and tell.”
They both admire their twinkling jars, but as the hours pass, both the firefly and salamander begin to dim. Neither one is glowing as bright as it was before.
Grandma comes to the back porch. The children are excited. “Tomorrow, we’ll bring the firefly and salamander to show and tell!” Leo says to Grandma.
Grandma smiles and says, “First, let me show you something.”
