What Our Customers Say

"A charming and delightfully whimsical alphabet book using the patterns in butterfly and moth wings for inspiration. A beautiful achievement, the photography is enchanting."

"This was impressive for the number of years it took the author to find all the letters as well as being a beautiful book. The perfect alphabet book for littles who like butterflies or anyone who likes butterflies for that matter."

"I was so happy to find this book! I taught my son the alphabet in 1995 using these gorgeous images. Recently I was invited to a baby shower where the mother-to-be requested that we bring a favorite book for a young child. The Butterfly Alphabet immediately came to mind. The imagery is beautiful and discovering the alphabet in the wings of a butterfly opens the doors for many creative conversations."
