My name is Kristin Crowell Ellis, also known as The "Mindset Matters" Speech Pathologist and author of Firefly Fran's Frantastic Day. I strive to help your little fireflies achieve their big dreams by inspiring them with optimism and a "can-do" attitude.
A Prelude...
Perhaps you may have noticed in the warm month of July,
while lolling in the dusky dark, beneath the starry sky,
a shimmer over the soft green grass, alive with snails and slugs:
the bright and fiery light of the loveliest of bugs!
And have you ever wondered how they came to shine so bright
as they flip and flash and dip and dance about the quiet night?
The answer's rather magical, so if you'd like to know
Come with me and you will see-- Ready? Set? Let's go!
Synopsis
When a swarm of little bugs light up for the first time and discover that they’re fireflies, one spunky bug is determined to find the source of the light and make it all happen again. Her journey takes her far and wide…but is it possible that the light could have come from within all along?
​
Told through the eyes of Firefly Fran, this whimsical, uplifting tale shares a message about how compassion, empathy, perseverance—and above all, positivity—make anything possible. Taking inspiration from the author’s father’s success in overcoming life-altering challenges through the power of positivity, Fran is the little firefly-who-could, boldly inspiring little fireflies-who-will!
