In this enchanting book, Brian Rea (the beloved artist of the New York Times column "Modern Love") illustrates Brooke Smith's poignant poem about the healing power of creativity. A woman in the midst of grief discovers a wonderful secret: she can see words on the wings of butterflies. And these words inspire her to compose rejuvenating stories of love. Heartfelt poetry and charming illustrations combine to make it a touchstone of solace for anyone in need of hope.

Brooke Smith is an author and poet living in Bend, Oregon.
