Fireflies, Fireflies

A grandmother who adores reading in the comfort of her garden and loves to create stories and poetry about the beauty of nature. Cousin Zion and Isla, the main characters in the story Fireflies, Fireflies love to play outside and they also share their love for poetry and children's rhymes. This book motivated me to write about the fascinating creature "Fireflies" and at the same time inspire the children to become more creative in outdoor games while appreciating the wonders of our planet Earth. The interactions in this story, has emphasis on their social, physical and mental well being. These are the skills, I learned during my time, in the 50's. My generation, didn't have the powerful tools in technology, we were taught to fix the toys and not to throw away. The iPad, iPhone etc. have great advantages and disadvantages, the impact on learning, discovering and exploring are basically presented in a small tablet. I observed that my grandchildren are limiting their space, energy and real human interactions, by chatting and playing online games. This book will also inspire the children to compose and enjoy poetry and other children's rhymes.
