No means No
We all know what is going on in the news about the 'me too" movement. Harassment is on both sides, men and women. It is important to teach our children that it is OK to say NO and mean it. In this excerpt we see that the butterfly is clearly stating "NO." Not maybe , not later, but no- never. While people in the news may have said no, it is never too early for us to teach our children to clearly say NO when they are asked to do something that will bring harm to them. The butterfly isn't mean, or angry in this section. It is just matter of fact, NO. This doesn't ruin their friendship, in fact it makes it stronger. With boundaries in place, it can often make our world a safer place.
Book Excerpt
Wings and Feet
No, said the butterfly. That home is yours.
My home is vast as the starry outdoors.
You sleep indoors and are free from all harm.
My wings wrapped around me; they keep me warm.
Trapped in a jar I will be kept from flight.
I must remain free, even if stormy night.
