The Dog Who Wanted to Be a Butterfly

What’s better than chasing butterflies? Becoming one.

Franklin knows he’s a dog. But that doesn’t stop him from wishing for the day he can become a butterfly. He loves the way they flit on the air and whisper through the sky. He wants to dance on a flower and flutter his wings back and forth.

With a little bit of magic and even a bit more luck, Franklin’s wish might come true. He discovers that eating chicken bones and jumping down the stairs won’t do the trick, much to his dismay, and almost gives up on his wish. Until one day he meets a magical butterfly who whispers the secret into his ear . . . and now that Franklin knows what to do-nothing can stop him.

In this delightful tale from Heather Sanderson with art by Gérome Barry, kids will enjoy the fanciful quest of a sweet pup who learns that wishes can come true in unbelievable ways.
