Yellow Butterfly
A Story from Ukraine
- 2023 INDIES Finalist
- Finalist, Picture Books (Children's)
Stark images in black and white lead this sympathetic wordless picture book about a girl who’s enduring the war in Ukraine. Her days are harsh and limited; she feels trapped, and danger exists everywhere. But her fear and despair are interrupted by a happy sight: a luminous butterfly flits by. She follows it beyond the scary places and refuse; she is reminded that a possibility-filled world still exists beyond these dark circumstances. The war will end; she’ll spread her own wings again soon.
