Yesterday we went to Kiwanis Park. They have a pool there which is like a lake where it is shallow around all the edges and then gets deeper in the middle. While the kids and I were paddling around a butterfly decided to flit around us. It went from head to head as if it was trying to figure out which one of us was the most sweet to land on.
There is something about butterflies that make me smile. When I see them I feel at peace and that I am in some magical point in time. They are so delicate and beautiful. They definitely give me a lot of joy.
Synopsis
A little girl moves from her country home to the city. She is sad to be leaving behind the beautiful butterflies. When she notices that beside her house is a park called Butterfly Park she is excited and can't wait to see butterflies again.
My Thoughts
This was a a sweet story. My older kids really liked it. They liked when everyone got together to build a butterfly garden in the park.
I liked how it showed that children's interests and desires help to build community. It was through the children's desire for butterflies to remain in Butterfly Park that children and adults alike pulled together to make it a beautiful place. I loved that.
I loved the whimsical quality of this book. I loved how the little girls dress looked like butterfly wings. It was just lovely
