ABOUT THE BOOK

Join Fenix, a little firefly on big mission to help Bolt, a Firework Flier who ate too much nectar and can't fly. Fenix must overcome fears and challenges to reach the top of the tallest tree, where the grand finale of the Solstice Celebration awaits. Along the way, creatures of the Silver Birch Forest will test the firefly’s wits.

Will Fenix make it to the top in time?
Who will be the 
Spirit of the Year?
And what will happen when the fireflies light up the sky in a dazzling, darting, dizzying kaleidoscope?

Find out in this delightful tale that will 
spark imagination and get kids up and moving. Readers are invited to act out the story, and Ballerina Konora joins the pages with suggestions for those who want StoryMoving ideas. Readers will stretch, reach, balance, crouch, jump, flutter, flap, spin, and more alongside story animals. With neither pronouns to describe the hero, nor named dance terms, this story is perfect for classrooms as well as families at home.

If you love stories with 
helpful characters and positive messages, you'll love Fenix and the Firework Fliers, a charming story of friendship and courage.
