Leo wins our hearts and gains self-confidence in his struggle to make his very own light.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
"Leo the Lightning Bug" is a unique picture book in that the author (Eric Drachman), illustrator (James Muscarello), and graphic designer (Andrew Leman) all played an important and cooperative part in creating the look and content of the book. (Usually, publishing companies keep these creative types apart from one another and "direct" the book from the sidelines.) Eric also recorded and edited the sound on the audio CD as the illustrations were coming to life, using James' characterizations in choosing takes and making editing choices.
I was inspired to write "Leo the Lightning Bug" one summer while watching a tremendous thunder storm from a screened in porch in the woods. The lightning was striking all around the cottage when I saw a little lightning bug fly by the screen lighting up his own light! I thought to myself, "I wonder if he thinks he's doing all of this?!?" ...and Leo was born. His struggle (with his small size and lack of self-confidence) is not unique to fireflies in the woods - all kids (and most adults) can relate to Leo's adventure.
