Have you ever wanted to do something great? Something no one else believed you could do? Well, here is your chance to learn how. Meet a little snail who wanted to fly and an old butterfly who questioned why. Travel with the little snail as he crawls up a mushroom determined to soar from the top. But every time, the same thing makes him stop: fear. Sound familiar?

Filled with inspiration and motivation, this magical conversation between an ambitious snail and a seasoned butterfly encourages us to pursue our dreams regardless of who we are or where we come from. 

With words by award-winning author Dougie Coop, and illustrations by acclaimed Australian artist CJ the Kid, the rhythmic verse and playful style remind us all we can achieve the impossible as long as we believe, trust, and persevere.

Review for The Snail and the Butterfly

I absolutely loved the illustrations! Must see. Children’s books are my jam – there is usually a life-long lesson to learn (try saying that fast 3 times). This one is packed with great nuggets of wisdom. From a world of possibilities to self-confidence, this story hits all the important parts of growing up. I’d imagine this book will grow with the child. I highly recommend it!
