Description

Inspired by stories from her grandmother, Lightning Bug goes into the forest in the hopes of meeting a Bigfoot. Benny becomes Lightning Bug's best friend and teaches her about protecting the forest and animals.

Based on the stories she remembers from her own grandmother, author and illustrator Donell Barlow creates a colorful world that explores the legends of her Native American heritage (Yurok and Ottawa Tribes) and celebrates the ways friends and family teach us what's important.
