Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the weight of a secret, feeling the sting of jealousy, or learning that trust is something built through patience rather than impulse. This retelling of the Cupid and Psyche myth explores the delicate balance between curiosity and commitment, framed through the enchanting lens of how the very first butterflies came to be. It is a story about the soul's journey toward maturity and the resilience required to fix a mistake. While the original myth is ancient, this version is softened for the elementary years. It emphasizes the concept of 'looking with the heart' rather than just the eyes. Parents will appreciate how it introduces classical mythology and the symbolism of the butterfly as a metaphor for personal transformation. It is an ideal choice for children who love fairy tales but are ready for stories with more psychological depth regarding relationships and consequences.
