Product Description
The littlest cricket of Swampswallow Pond is convinced only by the Wise Old One that being special has nothing to do with physical metamorphosis, flashy colors, or shimmering wings. “The cricket is every child who stopped the music because someone criticized casually, thoughtlessly. It takes a wise friend to bring the music back.”--School Library Journal

great for children building self esteem November 3, 2008
Jennifer Meis (Cali)
I found this book to be great for children between the ages of 4-8. It teaches them about self esteem. They can use the knowledge from this book for their lives. The pictures were beautiful and ful of wonderful colors. When I read it to preschoolers, they enjoyed the pictures and could follow along with the story. Plus, I got great feed back from them. Amazon's shipping was great because I needed the book fast and it got to my house right on time.

This is a great story, well-told without being preachy, about a subject that concerns every child from time to time. A++
Life's most important lesson July 24, 2008
Susan Sturms
The beautiful lesson of this tale is that each of us is unique with talents and gifts that enrich others' lives. The poor little cricket in the story is unhappy because he has been told he is ugly. He wishes he were a beautiful butterfly. Little does he know that by the end of the story, it is the beautiful butterfly who will be admiring him for the lovely music he can make!
I have an autistic son, and this book is an absolute treasure to me. Every child - every person, really - should be nurtured to understand the lesson of this story: that he or she is special and wonderful just the way he or she is!

I Wish I Were a Butterfly is one of my favorite books to share with children. The lesson is one that can never be taught too often. The illustrations are art quality and captivating. It is the perfect book to carry into most classrooms as a "guest" reader. Few children have experienced this book, but I've never read it to a class (or child) that did not enjoy it.
A must have! December 8, 2005

As a future teacher, I am always looking for books that will be both enjoyable and educational. This is a great book for social studies concepts in younger grades (K-2) and excellent for elements of literature in older grades (3+). The message is one that children can never hear enough: You have gifts that should not be neglected!
