Photographs by
Rick Lieder.
In this third collaboration (Step Gently Out; Sweep Up the Sun), Frost's poem tells of a female firefly looking for her mate: "How will she find / one firefly / among so many?"; Lieder's luminous photos achieve a surprising variety. The blend of science, gentle poetry, and spectacular photography will make children long for warm summer nights. A closing note offers additional facts.
