Sam, Sandy, and Drag travel from Tucson, AZ to Sedona, AZ and as Drag the Dragonfly becomes exhausted they see what appears to be a glowing monster hovering in the forest. As they approach, the glowing mass explodes and they realize they are surrounded by thousands of… fireflies! The Fireflys find inventive ways to help the trio land and rest and a clue is left at the end of book (which happens in each book), leading to where they will travel to next. Told in English and Spanish, the three central characters represent key intrinsic values demonstrated by children as role models for adults.
Sam the Ant persists even as fears are confronted, and is always looking to build community with others.
Sandy the Ant affirms and trusts Sam, and learns how to risk.
Drag the Dragonfly loves to fly high in the sky to gain a broader perspective.
