What's Butterfly Boy About

Publisher Summary

Every sunny afternoon, Emilio wheels his grandfather outside to watch the butterflies. Emilio’s grandfather can no longer speak, but Emilio can see happiness in the older man’s eyes as he watches butterflies dance through the air. But one day the butterflies fly away. Can Emilio bring them back and make his grandfather smile with more than just his eyes? Virginia Kroll’s beautiful story is written with love and is magically illustrated by Gerardo Suzán.
