One Magical Night

When you open this book, you’re in for quite a sight!
Prepare to behold one of Earth’s true delights.
As the tiny glow of a firefly illuminates the night,
you feel inspired to shine your own magical light!

The magnificent tale of “One Magical Night” is grounded in authentic, real-life inspiration. Author Maria Choron and her brother, Dimitry, spent summers in the northeastern United States during the 1950s and ’60s. Leaving the Brooklyn city lights behind, they found a summertime sanctuary in the countryside that was bursting with simple pleasures. Rolling down the hill with friends on a starry night and chasing what appeared to be hundreds of fireflies was a dream come true. In fact... it was magical! This book captures the essence of that wonder for children and grown-ups alike.

And this whimsically illustrated book is educational and inspirational too: includes two activity pages to inspire discussion and ENDLESS hands-on creativity with young readers: Fun Facts About Fireflies and Make a Rainy Day a Fun Day!
