Amber's Butterfly

A warm story about dreams, nature and making a home for butterflies.

Amber lives in an inner-city high-rise apartment where no butterflies come to visit. She dreams of getting close to a butterfly and believes that one day she will. But where can she find a butterfly in the middle of the city?

Written by Jacqueline E. Waters, with design and illustration by Julie-Anne Powell, Amber's Butterfly is stocked in a limited quantity by Polly Kettle Books for families and gift buyers who love thoughtful stories full of wonder.

About the story

A butterfly picture book for curious young hearts

Amber's world begins high above the city, where she longs to see a butterfly up close. Her dream becomes a story about noticing nature, caring for living things and discovering that wonder can grow in unexpected places.

This is a stocked title, not a book written by Julie-Anne. Polly Kettle Books has a limited number of copies available because Julie-Anne designed and illustrated the book for her friend, author Jacqueline E. Waters.
