Firefly

From two of the UK’s most celebrated book makers, Robert Macfarlane and Luke Adam Hawker, comes Firefly — a luminous new picture book that celebrates light, hope, and wonder in the darkest of times.

Why We Love It

Written in Macfarlane’s signature lyrical verse, Firefly follows a child’s journey through winter’s darkness to a meadow aglow with “fallen constellations” — fireflies that shimmer like stars in the summer grasses. Each intricate etching by Luke Adam Hawker captures the quiet beauty and courage that guide us through the shadows. A book to treasure for a lifetime, Firefly is the first in a stunning new trilogy that speaks to readers of all ages.
