This story, just right for readers ages 3-7, celebrates finding stillness in a busy world, and appreciating the little things in life.

When Buttons the dog sees a beautiful blue butterfly, he is sure everyone will want to see it, too. But among the bustle of the busy street and the chitter-chatter of the café, no one notices the insect. He tries to encourage everyone he meets to stop and admire the wonder and beauty of the butterfly, but no one does. Is there anything he can do to get everyone to focus their attention on the beautiful insect? This inspiring story celebrates finding stillness in a busy world, and appreciating the little things in life.
Jonny Lambert grew up in Surrey, England, and always knew he wanted to be an artist of some sort. Encouraged by his art instructor at the Reigate School of Art and Design, Jonny is now an artist of many sorts: a talented illustrator with more than 300 titles to his name, designer, and paper engineer. He lives with his wife, daughter, and a menagerie of animals in West Sussex, England.
