The critically acclaimed story of one child's experience of foster
care and his journey to a forever, forever home Elliot's parents
love him very much, but they don't have all the skills they need to
take care of a child. When he cries, they do not understand why.
When he yells, they do not know what to do. When he misbehaves,
they do not know how to react. One day a social worker named Thomas
comes to visit, and Elliot's world turns upside-down. Manon
Gauthier's soft collage illustrations feature approachable rabbit
characters, while Julie Pearson's soothing, repetitive text guides
Elliot gently through the foster child system. The new families
that care for the little boy are kind, but everything is strange
and new, and the sudden changes make him want to cry and yell and
misbehave. Then, when it becomes clear that Elliot's parents will
never be able to raise him, Thomas sets out to find Elliot one last
home-a forever, forever home with a family that will love and care
for him no matter what.

Een miljoen vlinders is ’n verhaal oor grootword, weggaan, verlief
word en weer huis toe kom. In die middel van die nag sien Martiens
hulle vir die eerste keer: die vlinders wat om sy kop fladder. Ten
minste ’n miljoen van hulle! Martiens weet nie waar die vlinders
vandaan kom nie, maar sy ouers weet duidelik iets wat hy nie weet
nie. "Dis tyd om te gaan," se hulle, en stuur hom die woud in.
Oppad ontmoet Martiens verskeie diere, maar niemand anders sien sy
vlinders nie. Die ouer diere het egter ’n vermoede waarheen die
vlinders hom wil lei … en gee vir hom alles wat hy nodig het vir sy
reis.
How do families live together, and why are they sometimes apart?
This profound and moving book will inspire reflection and
conversation about what unites us and what makes us distinct
individuals. Colombian creator Dipacho explores the many ways we
live with other people-or, at times, apart from them-with striking
illustrations of the jabiru, the largest member of the stork family
of birds. In spare, poetic text and stunning watercolours, Dipacho
honors family togetherness as well as families whose members choose
to live apart, or are separated by circumstances. Moving spreads
pay tribute to family members who have died, and those just born.
This ingeniously conceived book gives equal weight to the
conventional and the unconventional arrangements in which we live,
sparking conversations about what it means to be a family. The book
ends with informational back matter about the fascinating jabiru
stork, grounding it in the world of facts.

When night falls and the shadows get longer and darker, Mouse is
scared. How will he find his way home? Luckily he meets a firefly
who reassures him, 'I'm Ray and I'll light your way.' On their
starlit walk, however, it can seem that every shadow is lurking
danger. And the meerkat, chickens, frogs and squirrels who join
them agree-until Ray flies close with his light and shows what the
shadows really are. But sometimes, just sometimes, the shadows
might be just what they look like . . .
