A story to share with little ones who are longing to be independent.
Cleopatra Silverwing loves to do stunts. While all the other little butterflies are learning to flutter gently, Cleopatra practices her loop-the-loop and dip flips. One blustery day, her parents tell her it's too windy to go flying but Cleopatra just can't resist practicing the cherry dip flip one last time. The gusty wind sweeps her up over rivers and snowy mountaintops and SPLAT into a gooey swamp. Feisty Cleopatra is in luck though - some friendly fireflies help get her safely back home. Cleopatra promises never to fly off alone again until she's much older and to always let her parents know where she is going.
