I Am a Butterfly
Gemma the nightlight is scared of the dark garden, until every spooky shape turns out to be a friend. Then Pollie sneezes, every jack-o'-lantern lights up, and the whole garden dances.

Before Monty had wings, Monty was very, very small. A tiny caterpillar remembers growing up, from an egg on a milkweed leaf to a butterfly over the Willow Flower garden.
Coming Next
A girl who can't leave her hospital room throws a paper plane from her window. Passed from child to child around the world, each adding a drawing, it comes home to her as a map of friends she's never met.
A story told in a single original song.

Our World
Every Willow Flower story begins in the same garden: a sheltered valley with a waterfall, a clear stream, a great willow and the Tree of Life.
