ABOUT THE STORY
Hope the caterpillar is ready to transform… but change can feel scary, and her best friend Gracie just wants to protect her, even if it means stopping the process.
Join these two lovable characters on a journey through friendship, fear, unconditional love, second chances, and what it really means to support someone you care about.
This is the first book in the Crystalline Vibes™ Children’s Series, created to help kids (and the grownups who love them) navigate a big, complicated world with simple tools and lots of heart.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Cristal Lynn Cook, LCSW, grew up in tiny Mancos, Colorado, rescuing animals and dreaming up adventures. Her winding career path took her from CPA to FBI agent before ultimately landing in her true calling as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
For over 20 years, she’s supported children, teens, and families through therapy, advocacy, and community work. She travels the world helping others, rescuing animals, and exploring the magic of being human. The real-life Charlie and Gracie are rescue animals, and Cristal often asks herself… “Really, who is rescuing whom?”

“Hope Is A Butterfly is truly an important book. This book delivers such a powerful message with heart, and with a really sneaky sense of humor. The message of inclusion, of love, and of understanding stand the test of time. Not only do the words pack a powerful message, but the illustrations bring this book to life in a beautiful way. I cannot recommend Hope Is A Butterfly enough. Yet whatever you do, do not squish the caterpillar!” - Ryan D.

We are doing a unit on Building a Community of Learners and focusing on good character traits that are needed to build a strong community. We have been using books that focus on these traits and then doing activities to support and build these traits in our students. I cannot wait to share this book with my teammates and my students! It is so perfect! I LOVE it!” - Diane Sherwood, Elementary School Teacher

At a time in history when we desperately need gentleness, kindness and empathy, Hope is a Butterfly-If You Don’t Squish the Caterpillar, by Cristal Cook, illustrates all three perfectly. The story carries you to a place of awareness and understanding, without being didactic. The illustrations are so delightful at enhancing the theme in a playful and joyful way. It is a fantastic gift, and teaching tool for our children, yet there is certainly a message for adults tucked in there too! - Margaret (Midge) Kirk, author of They Persisted
