THE BUTTERFLY (2019)

Little Matthew lives in a dull, drab, ugly neighbourhood full of dull, drab, ugly people. He responds to it by rejecting it, but has no alternative until his restless spirit one day drives him to stumble upon a secluded meadow. Enchanted by exposure to Mother Nature, Matthew then encounters her most exquisite offspring – a butterfly. An instant attachment is formed as Matthew’s introduction to beauty seals a summer, a golden bubble where he and the butterfly bask in the mutual radiance of friendship and love. But butterflies, like the seasons, have a time limit.

Johnny Monroe’s charming, poignant parable of innocence and heartbreak is a children’s story for children of all ages, from seven to seventy and beyond.

‘A beautiful eulogy to anyone who ever loved and lost.’
