Butterfly and the Bog Beast

Reach for this book when your child is feeling discouraged by a stereotype or is worried that being 'delicate' or 'small' means they can't be a strong competitor. It is perfect for children who might feel out of place in high-pressure team sports or those who struggle with peer pressure regarding their interests. In this adventure, the class learns that butterflies are far more resilient and tough than their pretty wings suggest. Through the lens of a school soccer team debate, the story explores themes of self-confidence, identity, and the scientific reality of nature's hidden strengths. It is an ideal bridge for 7 to 10-year-olds who enjoy a mix of magic, humor, and factual discovery, teaching them that true power often comes from unexpected places.
