VIOLETT
THE PINK BUTTERFLY
VIOLETT THE PINK BUTTERFLY is an encouraging storybook about a young butterfly who unexpectedly becomes bright pink, then uses her unique appearance and amazing dance ability to open doors for others in the arts. If you know anyone who is called to be a groundbreaker, or who has ever been teased because of their appearance, VIOLETT THE PINK BUTTERFLY is an inspirational resource! The appendix section contains discussion questions, Bible verses, and relevant prayers. This book makes a wonderful match with Humberto the Humming Butterfly, which talks about overcoming criticism when people make fun of us for "doing the art that's in our heart!"
