Butterfly's Love

By Susan Ogden Benting and Takezo Art

Butterfly's Love is a gentle and heartwarming story about two young caterpillars, Lisa and Matt. They both want the same leaf to build their cocoon, but neither is willing to give it up. At first, they argue and don't get along. But as they are forced to share the space, they slowly begin to understand each other.

Inside their cocoons, they can't see each other, but they start talking and joking. They share their fears about changing and what it means to grow. Their connection grows stronger, and they find comfort in each other's words. As their bodies transform into butterflies, the pain and changes are hard to go through. But Matt and Lisa encourage each other to be strong and keep going. Finally, one bright morning, they break free and see each other's beautiful new wings. They are amazed at how much they've changed both inside and outside. Now butterflies, they fly together for the first time, ready to explore the world. Their journey shows that growing up can be scary, but it can also bring love, friendship, and joy. Most importantly, they learn that the best transformations happen when you're not alone.
