About the Book

What if one phrase could change how you see the world?

On a cold winter morning, my daughter Lucy looked out the window and said, “Mama, today is a butterfly day.”
There were no butterflies in sight, but in that moment, everything felt lighter, warmer, more hopeful.

Today Is a Butterfly Day invites children and grown-ups alike to see life through the lens of wonder, resilience, and transformation. It’s a story about choosing joy, even on the darkest days.
