Bonjour, Butterfly

Reach for this book when your child is facing a major 'fomo' moment or a scheduling conflict that feels like the end of the world. It provides a perfect bridge for discussing how to handle big feelings of resentment when family obligations get in the way of social fun. Through Nancy's experience, children learn that disappointment is valid but that staying open to new experiences can lead to unexpected joy. Nancy is devastated to miss her best friend's butterfly birthday party to attend her great-grandparent's anniversary party. While she starts the day in a fancy funk, the story follows her emotional shift from anger to discovery. It is ideal for children ages 4 to 8 who are learning to navigate social disappointments and the value of multigenerational family connections.
