Little Moth Brown and Butterfly Red

Evonne Francis Illustrated by Anna Clariana

A shy moth discovers her unique beauty when she finds the courage to spread her wings and help a friend.

Little Moth Brown feels ashamed of her plain brown wings compared to her friend Butterfly Red's vibrant colours. While Butterfly Red soars and plays, Little Moth Brown stays hidden on the ground, convinced she’s not special enough to fly. But when a dangerous magpie threatens her friend, Little Moth Brown bravely spreads her wings to protect her—and discovers the intricate, beautiful patterns she never knew she had. A heartwarming, beautifully illustrated story about friendship, self-acceptance, and recognising the unique beauty within us.

This gentle story helps children understand that everyone has unique qualities worth celebrating, even when they feel different or overlooked.
The friendship between the moth and butterfly demonstrates how true friends encourage and support each other through acts of bravery and kindness.
The narrative beautifully illustrates how self-discovery often comes through helping others and finding the courage to be ourselves.
Colourful, dynamic, vivid illustrations bring life to this charming adventure.
