Summersville, WV, October 2, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Beth Boso, an imaginative mother of two who lives in Summersville, West Virginia, with her husband and four dogs, has completed her new book, “Lilly the Lightning Bug”: a beautiful story about growing up.
Beth shares from her new book, “Lilly wanted to cry but she couldn’t, wouldn’t, let Lucy or Momma see her do that. Grown-ups don’t do that.
After what seemed like a lifetime, the crickets let everyone know it was time to go home. Lilly thought about her soft little bed and how much she needed to lay her head down and rest for a bit. Then Lucy reminded her that she had to go to Mr. Beesley’s. ‘After all, grown-ups don’t take naps, Lillybug.’
Lilly looked at Lucy, remembering that her sister was going to the river tonight with her friends to light up the water and chase their reflections. ‘Can I come to the river with you tonight?’ Lilly asked. ‘Since I’m a grown-up, my light will surely light up!’
Lucy looked at her little sister and smiled. ‘It doesn’t work like that Lilly. Your light will light up when it’s time and it’s ready and not before.’
‘You mean I did all this work for nothing?’ Lilly sniffed as teardrops formed in her big blue eyes.”
Published by Covenant Books of Murrells Inlet, South Carolina, Beth Boso’s new book is a wonderful story for little girls who love to play at being grown up and complain about being too young, not realizing how much fun they can have just by being themselves.
As young readers join Lilly in her day of adventure trying to be a grown-up, they will learn that it’s not so bad being a kid, and that they can patiently wait until it’s time they can join in the grown-up’s fun.
