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?

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:
