When Avni receives a journal as a gift, she questions what is worth putting on its blank pages. Through observation, contemplation, and adventure as they walk to their aunt's house, Avni and her younger sister Isha discover the magic of storytelling hiding in butterfly wings, homemade meals, and shared laughter.
This sweet picture book aims to encourage children to recognise and treasure the stories that make up their own lives.
Meenal Patel is an artist, author, and designer who at the age of four declared that she wanted to be a butterfly when she grew up. Her work celebrates everyday joys, the moments that connect us, and the strength of community. When she’s not creating books, Meenal loves painting with her nieces, baking birthday cakes, and hiking in forests with her husband and beloved dog, Dosa. Her favorite way to read and tell stories is through pictures. She's still working on becoming a butterfly. Visit her at meenalpatelstudio.com.
