From the inimitable author-illustrator Kenneth Kraegel comes another sweetly soothing bedtime book in the vein of Mushroom Lullaby and Mermaid Lullaby.

As the sun sets on a warm summer evening, a very small sound calls to those with a certain kind of ear. It is not the sighing song of wrens and robins, nor is it the gentle hum of crickets. It’s the magical sound of fireflies—dancing to the music of tiny trumpets, feasting upon an elaborate banquet, and singing songs to settle their wings before huddling close for a soothing night’s sleep. This charming and cozy story, with its luminous imagery and lyrical text, will lull little ones into comforting dreams of fireflies flickering in the night.
Kenneth Kraegel is the creator of the companion books Mushroom Lullaby and Mermaid Lullaby; the picture books King Arthur’s Very Great Grandson, Green Pants, and Wild Honey from the Moon; and the board book This Is a Book of Shapes. He is a self-taught artist with a unique style and a wonderfully fresh perspective. Kenneth Kraegel lives with his family in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where, in addition to creating books, he also tutors children with reading challenges, such as dyslexia.
