Books with title The Beautiful Butterfly

Affirming capacities for adaptation, reclamation, and renewal, Beautiful Butterfly guides children and adults towards an appreciation of their own inevitable transformations, and explores childhood growth and transition, by means of photography interlaced with American haiku poetry. Presented in five "chapters," the photography in Beautiful Butterfly is laid out in gorgeous, full color, with one haiku written in accordance with each chapter title.Parents are encouraged to read the poetry to children, who are too young to read on their own, while allowing their children to narrate those pages which contain no writing at all. The art in Beautiful Butterfly is dedicated to young people, and the families of young people, who have transitioned from this life and into the next. Rather than mourning their transition, Beautiful Butterfly celebrates transformation by suggesting there is no end, only change and new beginnings.

Andrew and his little sister, Lily, live with their parents in Texas. Since their grandparents reside nearby, they are always happy to visit them and learn new things about the world-especially from wise Pappa Rayson. The siblings usually get along, but one day, they start arguing. Pappa Rayson decides it's time to teach his grandchildren the lesson of the "ugly bug". He explains that the ugly bug of selfishness is invisible, but when he bites, he makes brothers and sisters fight. But that nasty bug also does something else: he makes them look ugly. Horrified by the thought of being ugly, Andrew and Lily ask their grandfather what they can do to get rid of the ugly bug. The only way to do this, Pappa says, is to make a beautiful butterfly. That means Andrew and Lily will have to find forgiveness in their hearts toward each other. It's not easy to do, but the children are determined to rid themselves of the ugly bug once and for all! Through helpful imagery, The Ugly Bug and the Beautiful Butterfly artfully teaches children how the unseen spiritual world co-exists with the physical world.
