Firenze loves dancing and books, but she does not like her light. It’s always shining at the wrong time - at the movies, slumber parties, and during hide-and-seek. So she decides to cover up her light and pretend that it doesn’t exist.
One day Firenze meets a beetle named Kirie who creates beautiful art. When her light shines on the art, it becomes even more magical. But will Firenze finally find the courage to let her true self shine through?
Firenze’s Light by Jessica Collaço and Angela Li is a heart-warming story about self-love and acceptance. We all have something that makes us unique and special, and some take longer than others to reveal these gifts. This book would be a great addition to a primary classroom library.
I found a copy of this book on Amazon (affiliate link): amzn.to/33EJdZ4
