Butterflies Are Free
by
Suzanne Jacobsen
Butterflies Are Free is a touching tale of growth, patience, and the wisdom that often comes from life’s unexpected lessons. Follow the journey of a curious little girl who discovers a butterfly cocoon and, in her innocence and desire to help, learns a poignant lesson about the necessity of struggle. Under the watchful eyes and gentle guidance of her father, she navigates a universal childhood challenge—the urge to intervene in the natural process of growth. Through her experiences, we are reminded that even in our most well-intentioned efforts, it’s sometimes best to step back and let nature take its course. This story serves as a testament to the enduring wisdom of generations. By passing down his knowledge, her father links them to the past and the future, forming a bond as resilient as the butterfly’s journey from cocoon to sky. Butterflies Are Free will inspire young readers to embrace their struggles, knowing they lead to their most beautiful transformations.
Dr. Suzanne Jacobsen, a developmental psychologist, imbues her writing with wisdom drawn from her rich life experiences as a mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and educator. Her deep-seated love for children and her commitment to their development has shaped her career since she began babysitting at age 12. In addition to Butterflies Are Free, she authored From Thomas to Train Conductor: The Story of a Special Boy in 2013, offering insights into the experiences of families with children who have special needs. Residing in White Rock, British Columbia, Dr. Jacobsen relishes a lifelong learning, often exploring her passions of reading, crafting, hiking, and traveling.
