Description
Young Mary discovers fireflies for the first time and realizes that fireflies are beautiful when shining but are ordinary bugs when not shining. Mary's mom uses the opportunity to teach Mary that although God places His spark of light in us, we don't always shine brightly either. Most of us are like fireflies who shine off and on. When Mary asks how we shine, her mother explains that we shine when we love others, which makes us a reflection of God's love in us.

MARY PERRONE DAVIS is a wife, mother, grandmother, Lay Carmelite, and Registered Nurse (working as a school nurse). Mary never planned to be an author. She was spending some quiet
time outside on a women's retreat when a butterfly landed nearby and her first book, "Mary's Butterfly Garden," was born. This was soon followed by her second book, "Mary and the Fireflies." Her latest book, "Mary Loves to Sing" teaches children, and parents, to step out in faith to give back to God what He has given them. Mary hopes that her love of The Lord is reflected in her books and in her life, as she gives back to The Lord the gifts He has given her.
