    What to Expect: Motivation, Inspiration, Perseverance, Dreaming Big, and Rhyme

    The Snail and the Butterfly is a thought-provoking children’s book set to motivate and uplift readers of all ages to take a chance and pursue their passions.

    Penned by Dougie Coop, a world-traveling author who has won numerous awards for his works, this picture book tells the story of a tiny snail that dreams of soaring through the skies like a butterfly but fears taking that first leap. Will the snail discover through conversations with a wise butterfly that taking the first leap can lead to beautiful new beginnings? 

    The rhyming verse sets the story’s pace and keeps readers engaged as they embark on an encouraging adventure with the dear snail that reminds us of the importance of believing in ourselves and trusting our abilities, no matter how small or insignificant we may feel. Above all, this book instills in us the power to take risks to pursue our goals. The message is universal and should resonate deeply with all individuals, regardless of age, ability, or background, making it an insightful read for anyone seeking inspiration and encouragement. Through the playful illustrations of CJ the Kid, a highly acclaimed Australian artist, the book comes alive with simple imagery and vibrant colors that captivate young and old alike.

    Sure to leave a lasting impression on all who read it, The Snail and the Butterfly not only entertains but also educates on the notion that dreams have no limits, and with perseverance, anything is possible.
