Synopsis
Acclaimed singer-songwriter Maren Morris and former schoolteacher Karina Argow, authors of the New York Times bestseller Addie Ant Goes on an Adventure, return to the garden with a delightful new picture book adventure!
Beatrix Butterfly wakes up on the wrong side of the watermelon bed, starting her day not at all as planned. Feeling behind schedule and overwhelmed by her mile-long to-do list, she sinks back into bed covered by her cozy zinnia-petal duvet.
What’s the solution to Beatrix’s plight? Trusted friends to give her some help, of course! Ellis Squirrel encourages her to set aside her endless list and play it by ear. Lewis Ladybug, Salvador Slug, and Estela Earthworm inspire her to improvise and soar, all while finding unexpected joy and beauty in nature along the way. What started as an off day turns back on as Beatrix Butterfly evolves and grows by sharing her feelings, keeping a promise, helping others, and winging it for once.
As with the beloved first book in the Addie Ant Garden Friends series—hailed by CBS Mornings as “Peter Rabbit for a new generation”—artist Kelly Anne Dalton brings the delightfully written characters to life with enchanting full-color illustrations.
