(3) K-3 Nina is scared of the dark. Her nightlight usually does the trick, but when the power goes out Nina finds another solution: she captures a firefly and uses its glow to read stories, do shadow puppets, and have a tea party. When the insect's light starts to fade, Nina lets it go. The striking black-and-radiant-white illustrations are what truly illuminate this book.
