Leo's Lightning Bugs is a heartwarming dual-language chapter book about a curious boy who discovers the light within every living thing. When Leo brings his love lamps - jars filled with glowing lightning bugs - to school, he learns that everyone has their own kind of light to share. Along the way, Leo meets Dottie and Justice, two friends who help him see that light can shine through love, hope, and truth.
Perfect for children ages 6-8, this chapter book is written line by line in both English and Spanish, making it ideal for:

Spanish learners
Bilingual classrooms and families
Early readers gaining confidence in both languages
Each chapter ends with a short vocabulary review to help readers naturally connect meaning between both languages.
Set in Cincinnati, Ohio, Leo's Lightning Bugs connects with the world of Justice in the Hall and Dottie and the Dandelions, bringing together characters who inspire kindness, curiosity, and light.
This is not an illustrated picture book - it is a beginner-friendly chapter book with clear English and Spanish text presented line by line, designed to build fluency, vocabulary, and understanding for bilingual learners.
