Saving the Butterfly

by Helen Cooper

A little brother and his big sister arrive in a new home with nothing left from before but each other. While he begins to find joy again, she remains trapped by fear, hiding away from the world.

Hoping to help, the boy brings her a butterfly—but to set it free, she must face the outside. In taking that first brave step, she begins not only to free the butterfly, but to heal herself as well.
