"In Firefly, Philippa Dowding presents serious topics such as homelessness and mental health in a way that fosters the readers' compassion for the dramatis personae, thus allowing them to develop sympathy for characters that are often vilified.
The novel would be useful as a natural segue to the mental health literacy component of the curriculum for senior elementary students."
--Canadian Children BookNews, Summer 2021
Thank you for the lovely review of Firefly, Canadian Children's Book Centre!
Keep reading everyone, summer is here. My motto these days: we can't hold each other right now, but until we can, it may help to hold a book.
