“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.

“Hi Cristal,I absolutely LOVE your book! It is perfect for the unit my team and I are doing at school right now. 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
