BUTTERFLY
Flutters in the sunlight,
brightly coloured. I have always loved butterflies. On my first visit to
Brisbane aged 19 I was entranced by the beautiful butterflies in every garden.
Their size and colours amazed me.
Years later we went to the Melbourne Zoo to
see the Chinese pandas but I most enjoyed the butterfly house. You could stand
still and have them land on your hands, face, eyelids – just magical. It’s
quite amazing to think that a beautiful butterfly comes from an unexceptional
caterpillar.
Ben had the book The Very
Hungry Caterpillar which I loved to read to him. And now he tells me
that he also loves butterflies.
I bought a copy of that book for Millie when
she was born and Amy tells me that she loves it because there is a little finger
puppet inside which she always wants to kiss. Maybe she’ll also love butterflies!
