Hierdie bundel bevat, soos die titel aandui, ’n versameling heeltemal nuwe en oorspronklike gedigte. Dit bou voort op die wonderlike tradisie van DJ Opperman se Kleuterverseboek en Klein Verseboek, en dek onderwerpe wat met die destydse bundels nog nie deel was van kinders se leefwêreld nie, soos rekenaars, selfone, e-pos, internet en sms.

Die 250 verse deur 100 bydraers sluit in bekende en nuwe skrywers soos Hennie Aucamp, François Bloemhof, Philip de Vos, Hans du Plessis, Franci Greyling, Jaco Jacobs, Lucas Malan en Fanie Viljoen.

Die bundel bestaan uit drie afdelings: kleuterverse (2 tot 4 jaar), kinderverse (5 tot 7 jaar) en amper-tieners (8 tot 10 jaar). Temas wat gedek word sluit in: gesin en familie, speelgoed en troeteldiere, diere en natuur, pret en humor, tegnologie en beroep, vriendskap en verhoudings, eetgewoontes en maniere, liggaam en gesondheid, fantasie en sprokies, gril en gruwel, sport en spel, aktuele kwessies en sosiale verantwoordelikheid. ’n Lys wat die gedigte per onderwerp aandui, verskyn agterin sodat die bundel ook geskik is vir skoolgebruik.

Jamie Lee wants to be normal. But his ADHD makes him feel like his brain is full of butterflies. Elin Watts wants to be perfect. If she can be, surely her dad will come home. When Jamie and Elin's families blend, the polar opposites of chaotic Jamie and ordered Elin collide. As their lives spiral out of control, Jamie and Elin discover that they're actually more alike than they'd admit. Maybe there's no such thing as normal, or perfect. And perhaps, just like families, happy-ever-afters come in all shapes and sizes. Uplifting and moving, The Boy with the Butterfly Mind is an inspiring story of acceptance, blended families, and discovering that in the end, being yourself is more than enough.
