ZIP: a butterfly, but a little bit different

By Pieter van Groenewoud

Zip is no ordinary butterfly. From the moment she emerges from her cocoon, she feels that she is just a little bit different. Curious and uninhibited, she soon meets an old, wise butterfly and a small fellow of her kind. The old butterfly gives her simple but powerful advice: go on a journey, for the world holds everything you need to learn. The other little butterfly prefers to stay perched on the branch; she is afraid to fly far away. Zip does not hesitate and lets herself be carried along by the wind, on her way to the unknown. Along the way, she discovers beautiful places, learns to handle help from others, and encounters situations that are not without danger. Step by step, she grows, not only in strength but also in insight. But how far can a small, special butterfly go? And will she eventually return to the place where her adventure began? While Zip marvels at everything she encounters, one question keeps running through her mind.

A warm and adventurous story about daring to explore, falling and getting back up, and finding the courage to follow your own path.
