If You Want to Be a Butterfly

Beschreibung

An innovative exploration of a butterfly's life cycle --- in reverse. "If you want to be a butterfly, then arise, unfurl and welcome the waiting world," begins this book's narrator. Readers will flit from flower to flower with an adorable butterfly ... hold on tight with a chrysalis through all sorts of weather ... munch away with a greedy little caterpillar ... sit very, very still and dream big with a teeny tiny egg. It's a magical journey back in time, that ends ... at the beginning! Imaginations will be sparked by the active depictions --- freeing the butterfly in every child.

Autor

Muon Thi Van loves to read books of all shapes and sizes. She first began reading yellow-spined hardbacks about a certain girl detective before graduating to longer novels and then picture books (it's true, she doesn't remember reading picture books as a young child). So few books reflected her formative experiences, though, that she desired to bring new and different stories into the world. Muon has written many picture books for children, including Wishes, If You Were Night and One Is a Lot, and her books have received many distinctions and awards. She lives in Northern California with her family. Illustrator Andrea Armstrong is an artist based in Vancouver, British Columbia. She specializes in character-driven art, children's book illustration, portraiture and, more recently, animation.
