The Butterfly who had no Wings

 🦋 A short, stop-motion story

 ❄️ This story arrived in my mind one winter’s morning at 4am. Halfway through it started coming out as poetry. (Yes I was tired and thrilled for the rest of the day.)

I envisioned it being a picture book – and maybe one day it will be…
🎬 In the meantime, I wanted to create something visual, and was inspired to make a very simple stop-motion – with paper and a lego caterpillar.

🌸 Thank you for watching 🙏
