Would you like a captivating fairy tale for you and the children in your life and any adult who is young at heart? Are you on a quest for a meaningful narrative that will positively influence all who read it? If so, this is the perfect book for children and adults of all ages that will take you on an enthralling journey of enchantment.

Each day comes bearing precious gifts to us from God. We just need to untie the ribbon, which is what the main character, Joy, learns to do every day as a result of her special, serendipitous friendship with an enchanting, talking butterfly named Violet. As Joy discovers, butterflies make the world prettier and more graceful.

In this heartwarming, beautifully designed book — a novelette for all ages, Susan has created a timeless, magical story for everyone. During an adventurous hike behind her home one day, Joy, a young girl who recently moved to the country with her family so they could all escape the hustle and bustle of their unfulfilling city life, saves a caterpillar from being crushed. Joy’s act of kindness results in an extraordinary closeness with the charming, rescued caterpillar that turns into a butterfly and Joy's bestie. Her many adventures with the butterfly, her parents, her family and pets, and the secret, magical garden's captivating, talking beings are delightful and will inspire all readers.

Joy learns many important life lessons about faith, gratitude and kindness; the magic of ordinary days; the path to being more serene and positive; how a blessing bracelet encourages all who wear it; the joys of living a more simple life; the power of words and thoughts; the appreciation of nature and all living things; the mental health benefits of unplugging ... and with ease and comfort; surefire ways to build faith, have courage and be happy; the value of believing in yourself; the merits of eating a healthy diet and keeping fit; how Joy navigates the ups and downs of her new rural life with Violet's help; how to dream big and become a magnet for miracles in your life; the enchantment and wonder of the magical garden; simple ways to connect with your guardian angels; and much more.     

Joy learns with each day, we are presented with a blessed opportunity to learn, to grow, to live more fully, and to optimize our well-being and happiness if we just pay more attention to the ever-flowing whispers of our heart. And if you take this journey with Joy and the Butterfly, your life will be forever enriched. You will be transported to a magical farm with special adventures on every page throughout the book.

As special and meaningful to read for adults as it is for children, as shared in the quote above from the writings of George Bernard Shaw, this book’s awe-inspiring and breathtaking story will change the heart, mind, and spirit of all who experience this touching, upbeat narrative about Joy’s endearing relationship with her treasured butterfly friend and mentor.

This book was an honour for me to read."  D.C. - England

🦋  "I don't have children, and I love this book. It makes me want to live a more positive life and be a kinder person, counting my blessings daily. We are now reading it in my Book Club (21 adults!) and everyone has been uplifted by Susan's magical, riveting narrative. What everyone in my Book Club has acknowledged is that besides being an upbeat and page-turning book, it's also very humorous throughout and had all of us laughing often reading about Joy's adventures. Susan certainly has a very keen sense of humor. None of us wanted the book to end."  A.E. - USA 

🦋  "Both Susan's storyline and style of writing are captivating, the many color images are beautiful, and all of my children loved this book reading it over and over again; they are 3, 5, 7 and 12 years old. Even their grandparents, aunts, uncles and I loved this book. I will be giving it as gifts to all of my kids' teachers and classmates and as party favors at all of my children's next birthday parties in both the Softcover (for younger kids) and Hardback (for older kids and adults) versions."  M.T. - Canada 

🦋  "I'm in my mid-50s and this book with 18 chapters has enthralled and elevated me out of depression and into a life more focused on positivity, happiness, health, joy and peace. If you are looking for a surefire book guaranteed to elevate your mood and help you look at your life from a higher vantage point and see all of the blessings that surround you now, this is definitely the book for you. Thank you Susan!"  H.G. - Ireland 

🦋  "Joy & the Butterfly is magnificent! The artwork and the story in this novelette are a match made in heaven! I know kids from 2 to 9 will enjoy this novelette as well as all preteens and adults. I am an 80-year-old lady who loves to read good books, and I found this book to be very uplifting and emotionally healing. We are never too old for this kind of beauty, positivity and enchantment. What an amazing book that I am keeping on my bedside table to refer to often."  J.S. - USA 

🦋  "My 5-year-old son has fallen in love with Joy & the Butterfly. Most nights he looks at all the images before he goes to sleep and then falls asleep hugging the book. I think he has a crush on the main character in the book — Joy. He can't read all the text yet, but he is loving the artwork and identifying all of the words he knows. I have read him this entire book many times and he never tires of hearing it over and over again. On page 139, Susan provided a 'A Note for Adults' where she offers us a few pages of questions and inquiries we can ask the younger ones who can't read yet about every image. These pages have been immensely beneficial. They have already helped my son's reading readiness skills, ability to recognize shapes and colors, and powers of observation and vocabulary while increasing his knowledge and appreciation of nature, family, love, kindness, butterflies, vitality and more. The illustrations provide the opportunity to formulate questions to nurture these important skills. It's now the #1 book that we give out as gifts often for any occasion. Everyone loves it! What a blessing this faith-forward, value-driven and heartfelt book has been for us. Thank you Susan for enriching our lives."  L.S. - USA
