Book Cover & Preview Text
Desiree is a courageous butterfly who follows her bold dreams to fly and dance in the dark. By taking a risk, she finds the moths who teach her how to dance, and about her inner light and voice. “Desiree took flight between dusk and deep purple dark. It was her dream to fly and dance at night. Mother and Father had told her only bats, owls, and moths flew in the dark. No Monarchs had ever done that before! She was ready for her adventure. Catching a soft gust of wind. She soared to a nearby garden. She fluttered to a lilac. Desiree plunged her head into its petals and sucked the fragrant nectar. The taste and the scent made her quiver with joy. She looked around her. The garden was dark. Stars sprinkled the sky. The moon formed a sliver of light. She felt a breeze from above. She was not alone.”
