An honest exploration of climate anxiety, for kids 8+ and the
adults who love them. When ten-year-old Florent overhears his
mothers discussing the possibility of having another baby—and
expressing their reluctance due to fears about the planet—his
mind races off into a spiral of fear and guilt. Is the planet
suffering because there are too many children—children like him?
Do his parents think they made a mistake by bringing him into the
world? One night, Florent dreams that the forests have all burned
to the ground and that his parents are flying away on a spaceship,
abandoning him on a ruined planet. When he wakes up, he decides to
stop talking… until a discussion with his mothers changes
everything. At a time when climate change is negatively impacting
kids' mental health, Butterfly Wings provides: Anxiety relief:

other emotions about the climate A social-emotional learning tool

gorgeous illustrations, this compassionate story confronts the very
real challenge of climate anxiety in a way that is accessible to
