When we lose loved ones, does grief or love keep their memory alive? Juny, a beautiful but unhappy butterfly in Heaven, has a secret: he did not come from a caterpillar!
Magically, he is returned to earth as a boy to learn about his unusual birth. His heart is warmed by love of his family on earth, despite his strange beginning. But his heart sinks each time a family member leaves for heaven. First it was Dad, then Grandpa. Who's next? Will they forget him? How can he remember them?
Children understand the pain of separation when death visits their family. Too often, they are the forgotten mourners. Though a fantasy, this story gives young grievers hope, not fear. It's meant to activate their imaginations and ease their sorrow.
Juny's life, with all its ups and downs, provides comfort to youngsters who grieve for a lost loved one, friend or pet. It provides a release for their grief, proving that love can last forever and always wins.
