What is Mayfly Day about?

Mayfly wakes at dawn with just one day to live, but she does not waste a moment. She watches flowers open, eggs hatch and children play, feeling the sun on her wings and the gentle kiss of summer rain. As breezes blow and birds sing, Mayfly dances through the day, marvelling at the bright world around her. When night arrives, she lays her eggs and gazes at the stars, grateful for a short life filled with wonder, beauty and joy.
