Publisher's Synopsis
The Butterfly StoryBook (2015) is a unique collection of ten short stories for children written by the 2015 winners of an annual contest sponsored by the Rotary E-Club of the Caribbean 7020. The authors are all between the ages of seven and eleven. The central theme is about lighting up the lives of others. Although the Caribbean culture is present in the stories, readers will recognize similar events, situations, and experiences in their own lives. The inspiration from the minds of children in these stories will delight and encourage readers. Children will enjoy reading stories which provide an insight into the lives of the people in the Caribbean as seen through the eyes of children their own age. The book is available in English, French, Spanish and Haitian Creole. Teachers will find the books a useful tool for encouragement of story writing. The goal of this Rotary project is to improve literacy throughout the world by providing a book that can be read by children in all parts of the world, at the same time giving young authors an opportunity to be published. Through your purchase and enjoyment of the Butterfly Storybook, you can support Rotary in its commitment to literacy throughout the world. 100% of royalties support the humanitarian service of Rotary in the Caribbean and worldwide.
