Chrysalis

“The day the first stars fell, the butterflies vanished. In the morning I waited in the garden for a flutter, a flash of colour that never came, until Mum said:
– Let’s go. Now.
The words came out of her mouth, heavy, burying themselves in the ground and getting in the way of our hurried step.
– What about the butterflies? – I asked.”

When darkness invades the garden of a house and takes with it the butterflies that used to colour it, a little girl and her family are forced to leave their home and comfort themselves with the hope that one day they will return and see colour in the garden again.
A beautiful and poetic book about hope and the power of transformation.
