Open House for Butterflies

by Ruth Krauss

The book gives insight into an alternate and straightforward way of looking at things and events around us. For a moment, you can take away the idea that you are an adult, or you may forget what you think you are and read Krauss's and Sendak's revelations. It's joyful to be in that moment!
