It is a simple book with a huge message for today's children and adults alike. What makes us special? Unique? Our own person? It can be anything! In Owen’s book, the lesson of acceptance is paramount, and we are left asking ourselves how we can be kinder to those who are different.

“Butterflies are my favorite animal because each one is different, unique, and beautiful in their own way – and yet still known solely as a butterfly. My early childhood consisted of being bullied in school because I was simply being my ADHD-energetic self.

As a kid, you don’t understand why you are being labeled as different when you are simply another person. What really makes us different from each other? We are all souls living in this world, and we should treat each other with kindness and acceptance.

I hope the message in this book connects with many people. ”--Jennifer Owen“I am glad to share this story of acceptance about what makes each of us unique.

I love being the creative, imaginative, and energetic person that I am! I write books that provide subtle messages about how we should treat each other with kindness and respect and honor everyone’s abilities and differences. Butterflies are my favorite animal! ‘ -- Matea Anić Children’s book illustrator based in Berlin, Germany.
