Read an extract from Alex and the Butterflies by Aubrey Betz
One day while Alex watched and wished, two butterflies landed on her shirt just at her shoulder and fluttered their wings. For a few moments, she held her breath, until they both lifted into the air. “Where are they going?” she wondered.
And thus begins her adventure! As Alex follows the path of the two butterflies, she discovers she just might have the courage and determination it takes to achieve anything she can imagine.
Through a series of fascinating encounters, a little girl learns the power of a positive mindset and perseverance when faced with challenges. I wrote the children’s book Alex and the Butterflies and Hannah wrote the song ‘I Can Do Big Things’, to help children triumph over perceived limitations, so their accomplishments can be as big as their dreams.
