The Boring butterfly - Picture Book
Story:
When a young butterfly emerges from his cocoon, he is shocked and disappointed by his dull, gray wings. So he launches out into the world in the hopes of becoming more colorful.
Along the way he meets several friends who tell him stories about how their families became so colorful. Like the first Monarch who flew too close the sun, or the first Morpho who daringly dove through water. But no matter what the boring butterfly tries, he starts to feel that he is doomed to be boring.
It isn’t until he’s just about to give up, that one final friend teaches him to see the part of himself that was interesting all along.
About Me:
I am a professional artist, dealing in the intricate ink drawings you see here that draw people in with the hidden words and images I work into the detailing. I am also a novelist who has been a member of a small writing and critique group for nine years, and a member of the DFW Writers' Workshop for three. Thank you for your time.
