"Reviewed by Philip Van Heusen for Readers' Favorite ""No one is perfect, even those who pretend they are. However, no matter what your child feels makes them inferior, they need to know they are perfect just the way they are. In her book The Butterfly with Tattered Wings, Heidi Lepper Barrett helps children understand they are loved and accepted. The little caterpillar in this story is filled with love and gratitude. She makes a chrysalis in preparation for becoming a beautiful butterfly; however, before she breaks free, she is injured. The injury damages her wings, and she feels unlovable and unable to fly. A sympathetic bat takes the time to comfort her and show that even with damaged wings, he can still fly. With the bat's encouragement, the new butterfly becomes hopeful and flaps her wings. With faith and flapping, she flies all over, spreading the story of the power of love. Heidi Lepper Barrett helps children learn to accept themselves and be their best selves. In The Butterfly with Tattered Wings, Heidi tackles the tough subject of those who feel different. No one can do everything, but we all can do something. This world would be a better place if everyone learned to accept their limitations and lived up to their potential. Lucia Benito does a great job of illustrating Heidi's story. As parents, it is important to help our children feel loved and accepted, no matter what. One person's disability is another person's advantage. Even those who are differently-abled play a very important role in society. With love and faith, everyone can be what they need to be. Help your child embrace their differences and accept each other's differences."" Mom's Choice Award: Gold Recipient"
