A charming bedtime story for children aged 3 and up, my picture book Zwei rote Glüh­­würm­chen (Two Red Fireflies) follows Maxine, a glowing red firefly, on her journey through a nightly garden where she discovers the beauty of friendship.

Blending hand-drawn illustrations and collage-style artwork, this enchanting tale explores themes of light and shadow, brightness and darkness, the magic of the night, and the joy of finding kindred spirits. A heartwarming story that comforts, inspires sweet dreams, and encourages children to embrace the wonders of the nighttime world without fear.

The colors are coming out super nicely in the printed book, particularly the pitch dark backdrop.
