What are those lights that flicker at night among the branches of the trees? The fireflies have arrived!

Another book by Eric Carle about nature. With characteristic simplicity, Carle once again describes a journey of searching, in this book about a very lonely firefly.

The firefly travels through the night seeking other fireflies. It sees various bright spots in the night, the light of a lamp, a candle, a lantern, the eyes of an owl reflecting the light. Even fireworks that sparkled and glittered in the night.

But this is not what it is looking for, the friends it seeks. At the end of the story, a visual surprise awaits the young readers.
