The Four Butterflies
An English adaptation of the classic Yiddish fable about
four butterflies who journey to overcome fear and abandonment
and learn the true meaning of togetherness.
For the first time, American children and adults can enjoy the
wonderfully lyrical fables of Itzik Kipnis, the internationally
acclaimed Yiddish writer. In The Four Butterflies, four
butterfly friends are under siege by a big bad beetle. Feeling
threatened, each one finds a special hiding place in which to
blend in except for the little black butterfly. Sad, forlorn
and afraid, the black butterfly struggles to find camouflage,
when a bumblebee comes to the rescue. Once the danger has passed,
how do they reunite? This universal story of overcoming hope
and fear will stir the heart of young and old alike. Translated
from the original Yiddish, this bilingual English/Yiddish book
reads as beautifully left to right as it does right to left.
A special Yiddish pronunciation chart is included for educational
purposes.
