What The Fireflies Knew - Kai Harris
Episode description
I am excited to share "What The Fireflies Knew By Kai Harris.
As someone who grew up with "Tom Sawyer" and "Little Women" as required reading, I fully appreciate that understanding can be gained from everyone's experience.
This book represents a universal experience from a different perspective.
I love that it is a quiet story, showing that there is room for all stories; drama and tragedy aren't the only things that sell books.
Congratulations to Kai Harris:
