As they approach, the glowing mass explodes and they realize they are surrounded by thousands of... fireflies! The Fireflys find inventive ways to help the trio land and rest and a clue is left at the end of book (which happens in each book), leading to where they will travel to next. Told in English and Spanish, the three central characters represent key intrinsic values demonstrated by children as role models for adults.</p> <p>Sam the Ant persists even as fears are confronted, and is always looking to build community with others.<br /> Sandy the Ant affirms and trusts Sam, and learns how to risk.<br /> Drag the Dragonfly loves to fly high in the sky to gain a broader perspective.<br /> Sam the Ant was created by Samantha "Sam" Feldman and her father, Enrique C. Feldman, when Sam was between the ages of 3 and 6. Sam the Ant was from the beginning a representation of the hero inside all of us. Glow in the Dark is the second of 30 books.</p> <p>The 30 books, each with a learning guide, tell one large global story centered on <br /> * Understanding that adversity can be your ally<br /> * Embracing diversity as opportunity<br /> * Fostering multiple perspectives.<br /> Multiple cultures are experienced visually and through the use of questions, which permeate each story. The series is focused on empowering young children in ways which encourage them to: </p> <p>embrace discovery<br /> recognize multiple perspectives<br /> identify integrity<br /> foster compassion<br /> understand perseverance<br /> comprehend subtext through facial gesture and setting<br /> build language through provocations in the form of questions<br /> Each book ends with a parent guide that gives hints on how parents can use authentic dialogue strategies. Results have shown an increased desire to read, and an elevated level of curiosity and critical thinking.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>The artistic and soulful Feldman Father/Daughter author team shroud fear, and brilliantly illuminate the plot with curiosity, hope and possibilities! The story line reminds us that open minded and courageous actions can overcome adversity! This book is a must read and deserves a permanent place in the library of everyone who believes that we are greater together than all alone! Maria Marin Tucson Unified School District, Director of Elementary and K/8 Schools Quality books are gold to a preschool teacher, and this story is gold! This story has adventure, encourages problem solving and perspective taking. As a teacher and parent, I appreciate the questions at the bottom of the pages and the learning guides at the end of the book. It's also bilingual! I can see myself using this book in the classroom throughout the year to learn about diversity and kindness. Ms. Gina Outer Limits Preschool<br>
