Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Here is a magical bedtime story, sure to inspire readers with its message of friendship and kindness.
Nina is afraid of the dark. Luckily she has a nightlight, but one night the power goes out. What can Nina do to keep the shadows from creeping in? She catches a firefly to keep her company. But soon it's clear that what works for Nina is not good for her new friend, and so Nina has to make a decision.
This is a story that celebrates the joy of doing the right thing--even when it's not easy to do--with stunning black-and-white illustrations and fireflies represented by glowing spots of color--perfect to capture the effect of this heartwarming fantasy for the youngest child.
When the power goes off one night, Nina conquers her fear of the dark by going out and trapping one of the fireflies lighting up the sky, and she has fun playing with him until she realizes his light is growing ever dimmer and she must set him free.
