Description
"Firefly, guide my way to sleep
in the forest, green and deep."
In this lyric poem inspired by lines from Longfellow's Hiawatha, a firefly leads a small Chippewa girl through the forest to her outdoor cradle. Along the way, the firefly flashes its "golden signal" to reveal many creatures of the night.
Marty Husted's vivid and historically accurate illustrations depict the child's respect for nature, central to all Native American cultures. Its fanciful premise, reverent words, and beautiful images make "Firefly Night" a beguiling bedtime tale for children everywhere.
