Read Along
Once upon a time, in the heart of a lush green forest, lived Flicker, a tiny firefly with a glowing, warm yellow light. Though she had delicate transparent wings and big curious eyes, Flicker was afraid of the dark. Each night, her light would dim as the sun set, because she felt safer in the shadows than in the open night sky. Flicker loved listening to the gentle rustling leaves and the whispering wind, but she couldn’t join her friends in their night-time adventures.
