The Story Behind This Book
The Little Butterfly Girl* was written to give children with disabilities a story where they can feel seen, valued, and understood. Through Bridget Saunders, an 11-year-old girl who uses a power wheelchair, Brooke Brown shares a message of faith, purpose, and hope for young readers who may sometimes feel limited by their circumstances. The story reflects Brooke’s heart for helping others see that disability does not take away a person’s dreams, beauty, or God-given purpose. Bridget longs to fly and be free like the characters in her favorite fairytales, but her journey into the world of butterflies helps her discover a deeper truth: her wheelchair is not the end of her story, and her struggles can be part of something meaningful. Brooke wrote this book to encourage children, families, and readers of all ages to look beyond limitations and recognize the unique gifts God places inside every person. It is a faith-filled story about acceptance, courage, imagination, and learning to see oneself through God’s loving eyes.
