Firefly Lullaby

[T]he surreal landscape envelops readers, harkening back to a time and place that might live in young minds forevermore. The result is a salute not simply to summer itself, but also to communal celebrations. Kraegel’s ink and watercolor illustrations carry all the silliness and humor one might hope to find on a warm July night without skidding into outright chaos and calamity.
—Kirkus Reviews

Rhymes are fluid and well-constructed, particularly for a satisfying readaloud, and the text comfortably holds both humor and reverence for these miraculous, glowing creatures. The illustrations, ink and watercolor, are lush and inviting, a complete absence of white space encouraging full immersion into the twilight sky filled with the adventuring bugs.
—The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
