An honest exploration of climate anxiety, for kids 8+ and the adults who love them.
When ten-year-old Florent overhears his mothers discussing the possibility of having another baby-and expressing their reluctance due to fears about the planet-his mind races off into a spiral of fear and guilt. Is the planet suffering because there are too many children-children like him? Do his parents think they made a mistake by bringing him into the world?
One night, Florent dreams that the forests have all burned to the ground and that his parents are flying away on a spaceship, abandoning him on a ruined planet. When he wakes up, he decides to stop talking... until a discussion with his mothers changes everything.
At a time when climate change is negatively impacting kids' mental health, Butterfly Wings provides:
Anxiety relief: provides a safe space for kids to process their anxiety, fear, and other emotions about the climateA social-emotional learning tool for parents and teachers to talk about climate change with kids through a gentle and hopeful lens
Through thoughtful words and gorgeous illustrations, this compassionate story confronts the very real challenge of climate anxiety in a way that is accessible to young readers. Butterfly Wings provides children with a way to understand their feelings, while also offering hope for a different future.

"An invaluable mental health and ecological awareness tool... highly recommended."
-Midwest Book Review
Strikes the tricky balance of acknowledging the reality of the climate crisis without falling into the despair it can certainly engender...captures the surreal, lonely experience of feeling helpless in the face of tragedy. There are no pat answers here, but the ending buoys the story with the possibilities of a radically different future that is perhaps not as grim as Florent-and others-fear it will be."
