Description:

Reading with children is fun and rewarding – it encourages a child’s love of the written word, and gives you something to talk about, even when the book is done. "Mayflies", written for a 10 year old daughter, is about FM Merrill Mayfly, who learns, much to his distress, that mayflies only live for one day. He must spread the word (quickly!) – but how will each of his fellow mayflies react? The book considers this question – "What do you want to do with your life?" while encouraging respect for others as they make their own choices alongside you. What do FM and his friends choose? Come find out.
