(4) K-3 Illustrated by Peter Sylvada. A girl waits with her family to see a "firefly mountain." The lyrical oil paintings in bold browns and golds with visible brush strokes convey her range of emotions, from anticipation to fulfillment when "a jillion hundred" fireflies appear on the mountain. Though the prose poetry and dark palette occasionally obscure the story, nature-loving readers will relate to the girl's experience.
