The story is one which I invented on the fly, over the course of months, to help my toddler get to sleep. He experiences serious FOMO around bedtime and I wanted to tell a story that has no predetermined ending and gives him permission to dream as far as he can imagine. There are some philosophical groundings here as I am riffing on Zhuangzi's Butterfly Parable, that one is merely a butterfly dreaming of being a person. Starting at a dreaming child and moving to animals and then to abstract concepts, this story encourages creative thinking while being a calming, dreamy guided meditation about the connectedness of all things. While the book eventually ends, the reader may continue going deeper into more elaboration until the kiddo is asleep.
