There's a children's book that was published in 2003 called "Felix and the Worrier" by Rosemary Wells. (Ms. Wells is also the creator of the popular "Max & Ruby" cartoon on NickJr.)

My kids picked up this book in the library and brought it home. When we were reading it, we came across a page in which the main character was wearing what looks like a Jayne hat! Then, on the same page as the Jayne hat, his mommy refers to him as "my little firefly."

It's either a subtle tribute or a strange coincidence!

Here's a scan of the page:

Whoa. If that is a coincidence, it sure is one heck of one! Thanks for sharing that!

I don't think that could be a coinkydinky. We should email the author and find out

Dude. Creepy. But in a good way. Spreading the word to the little ones and all.

I went to the author's website but couldn't find any way to contact her. I tried just sending to "rosemarywells @ rosemarywells.com " because sometimes websites are set up to deliver any email that comes to whatever @ yourwebsite.com - but it didn't go through.

If anyone else manages to contact her, let us know!

That's seems a little too happenstance to be a coincidence. I conjure she just might be a closet Browncoat. I hope someone can find out!

BTW, Guy, what is a true coincidence? I'm dying to know...

Mine is an evil sugar high laugh! Bwahahahaha!

Now that is downright crazy. Awesome find! I think there ought to be a Firefly/Serenity in pop culture thread someplace so we can all post little gems like this - not that I can think of any others other than the BSG cameo.

an actual coincidence, as opposed to something that looks like a coincidence, but is actually supposed to happen

Is that a guinea pig wearing a Jayne hat?????? Don't let my mother see that or she'll die of cuteness.

How many Jaynes does it take to change a light bulb?

Two. One to try to put it in and another to find a bigger hammer.
