FIREFLIES



It's a rare talent to be able to both write and illustrate your own children's book.  That's just what Julie Brinckloe did when she published Fireflies in 1985.  Firelies is a delicate story about a boy who longs to capture some fireflies and succeeds.  However,  his heart tells him that this might have not been the best idea.  The pencil drawings are beautiful.   It's a simple yet timeless book.  Not a lot of fluff.  Just a day in the boy of a life.  Well done.
