"This book deals with the heavy topics of homelessness, addiction and PTSD in a gentle and accessible manner, making the book a great introduction to these topics for children...
The author does a great job in expressing how simple things, such as taking a bath or drinking hot chocolate, are earth-shattering to Firefly who has been living outside by herself...
Even though the topic is heavy at a glance, there is a lot of lightheartedness as readers get to experience life inside a busy costume shop and all the quirky characters that go along with that."

What a fantastic review for FIREFLY, thank you to Canadian Materials Review. It's so important for an author to get reviews for their books, it's how libraries and schools decide what to purchase with their small book budgets, so I'm very thankful to them for helping get the word out about FIREFLY. And if you loved a book, please consider reviewing and spreading the word on social media or on Goodreads or a bookselling site, your favourite authors will thank you.
My motto hasn't changed: We can't hold each other right now, but it may help to hold a book.
Go read the whole review, the reviewer has more lovely things to say!
