Firenze's Light by Jessica Collaco

Recommended for ages 4+

Video Summary

Firenze is a little bug who has a beautiful light, but she hates it! It comes out during sleepovers, the movies, and even hide and seek, so she tries to hide it even when her friends ask for it! She meets a Beetle in the forest named Kirie, who creates beautiful art with her pincers. Firenze’s light brings Kirie’s art to life and she soon realizes that it is a gift rather than a burden.
