Because their dreams of daring adventures go against the cautious teachings of their nations, Firefly and Cricket set out on their own, find a home with kindly Vole, and together help a grieving "miniature giant" named Peter.

Luke the firefly has no glow of his own so he stays near his friends, and when they are caught in a jar, his difference makes him uniquely qualified to help.

"A little frog is singing to himself in the swamp one night. His song doesn't seem complete, so he invites other animals to join in. Nothing sounds right until the littlest voice joins the song--that of a tiny firefly. This wonderfully illustrated picture book reminds us that small voices need to be heard, too." --

Maude hopes her newfound knowledge of fireflies will win her a spot in the neighborhood Bug-of-the-Month Club, but Louise, the club's hard-to-please leader, will not let her join.

"In the blink of an eye, the fireflies are forced to leave their field and find a safe place where they can make a new home: a light at the end of the way. But it's a difficult journey, full of seemingly impossible obstacles, which only the love that binds the family together can overcome. This emotional tale of feelings and identity leads us through the darkness into the light of a better future"--Back cover.
