Friendship and courage amidst war's shadows.

"The Butterfly" is a touching story that speaks to the resilience of the human spirit in the face of despair.

Description

Nothing surprises Monique since the Nazis marched into her small French village. Until she meets Sevrine, a young girl who has been hiding from the Nazis in Monique's basement. Playing upstairs after dark, the two become friends until, in a terrifying moment, they are discovered, sending both of their families into a nighttime flight. Full color.
