Zallina Kira Johnson-Animal Tails: A Firefly’s Night

A firefly has only two months to live and one goal to complete... A firefly has one goal in life: to find a mate and lay their eggs before their luck runs out. But will this group of wandering fireflies be able to find their mates and lay their eggs, or will they wander and search to find nothing? Will they be able to differentiate female fireflies from the flickering of human lights that are wrapped around the trees, or will their weeklong journey be for nothing? Zallina Kira Johnson has always loved books and the different stories that each one has. She would always enjoy creating her own original stories in a paper book, and as time passed, she grew to love creating these stories and hoped one day that she would be able to publish them so that everyone could read them. Zallina lives in Cumming, Georgia, with her mom and two sisters, along with her four pets: one sweet parakeet named Emerald and three cats-Simba, Kion, and Gracie. She currently is a middle schooler, aged twelve, and has a lot of teachers to thank as to why she is so excited to publish these books, especially one of her teachers, Mr. Pullano. He took the time to read her book and has been a really supportive teacher while she has been writing my books.
