This beautifully illustrated story is a true account of an intriguing summer my late husband and I spent with a butterfly, told through the eyes of two children. It seemed almost impossible to us that the interaction between us really happened and it made us feel very special.
Here is an opportunity for children to celebrate life and loss, its emotions, its sense of wonder and its mystery. There are feelings of joy and sadness, even grief; above all there is a mysterious sense of connection between a tiny creature and two people. At the back is a page of information about the red admiral butterfly and its life cycle and even some real photos of the very butterfly concerned.
It's a delightful story which will leave children with a sense of wonder and amazement.
Suitable for children aged 3-10
