“The Butterfly Pig by Mary Jenner is a beautifully written and illustrated story for children teaching them about embracing friends who come from diverse origins. I love the idea of the pig with the butterfly wings. I think it is unique, and children would find it delightful and intriguing. The story is effective in helping children to grasp the importance of accepting people who are different, people who have different strengths from theirs, and welcoming them into their friendship circles. Children must learn these values of acceptance from the moment they start interacting and engaging with other children. This is a highly relevant story for our times.”
