Friendship and courage amidst war's shadows.

"The Butterfly" is a touching story that speaks to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of despair. If you're drawn to tales that reflect the strength found in unexpected bonds, especially during the darkest times of history, this book offers a poignant look at friendship and bravery through the eyes of a child. It's especially compelling if you appreciate narratives that don't shy away from the realities of war while still encapsulating a message of hope and the importance of connection.

Description

Since the Tall Boots--the Nazis--have marched into Monique's small French village, terrorizing it, nothing surprises her. Until the night Monique encounters "the little ghost" sitting at the end of her bed. When she turns out to be--not a ghost at all--but a young girl named Sevrine, who has been hiding from the Nazis in Monique's own basement, how could Monique not be surprised! Playing upstairs after dark, the two become friends until, in a terrifying moment, they are discovered, sending both of their families into a nighttime flight. In the tradition of Pink and Say, Patricia Polacco once again dips into her own family's history to reveal her Aunt Monique's true story of friendship from the French Resistance.
