From the Author:

My wish is that my book will act as a vehicle to help foster more high-quality interaction between adults and children. In turn, I hope that many parents will teach their children the love of reading by sharing "Kokopelli & the Butterfly" with them. The family reading experience is so valuable, where children grow skills in learning, creativity, imagination, and conversation in a perfectly nurturing environment.

I purposely created this book the size it is so that you can have your arm around your child(ren) when you read together. I hope you'll agree that it's ideal for children of all ages, and with its illustrations and vocabulary I encourage parents to use it as a teaching tool for the youngest as well.

My hope is that my book's messages of love of each other and the Earth will be heard clearly by all. It's time for the global community to come together as one. We as adults want the same things we did as children. We all want to love and be loved. Let's learn from our children as we teach them. As we encourage our children to find their way, let's not forget to remain loving, curious, and "in the moment" like them. We are all connected and have so much to gain in sharing with each other.
