ALREADY A BUTTERFLY

Already a Butterfly is a gentle picture book tale about self-soothing practices and self-confidence beliefs.

With so much to do in so little time, Mari is constantly on the move, flitting from flower to flower, practicing her camouflage poses, and planning for migration. She’s the busiest butterfly around. But does being productive mean she is happy? Mari couldn’t say. The only way she feels like a butterfly is by acting like one. Little does Mari know, the secret to feeling like herself is simply to focus her breath, find her quiet place, and follow her instincts. With the guidance of a thoughtful flower bud, Mari soon learns to meditate and appreciate that she was a butterfly all along.

Acclaimed author Julia Alvarez extolls the importance of mindfulness, reflection, and self-care for young children in this gratifying picture book, stunningly illustrated by award-winning artist Raúl Colón.

Deja un fluture este o poveste de carte blanda despre practicile de linistire de sine si credintele de incredere in sine. Cu atat de multe de facut in atat de putin timp, Mari este in continua miscare, zburand de la floare la floare, practicandu-si ipostazele de camuflaj si planificand pentru migratie. E cel mai aglomerat fluture din jur.
