Story Behind The Book

While teaching Children's Ministry (ages 6 to 10) for 30 years, I was always looking for material to 'make the point' for the teachings. Amelia Airheart Butterfly, ages preschool to eight, is second in the Orville series of Christian children's books. Amelia was written to address the issue of fearful thoughts in a child's mind. Sometimes insignificant thoughts become 'larger than life' and take over a child's thoughts. Amelia shows how a lie spoken changes the way she believes about herself. Orville is the friend that tells her the Truth and encourages her to go against the 'what if's' in her thoughts..."what if I trip again..what if I SHOULD quit being a butterfly". And who was it that whispered the 'dragonfly lie'?

<p>Books are re-issued 2010 and can be purchased at <a href="http://www.DonnaPerugini.com">http://www.DonnaPerugini.com</a> <br /><br /> Dear Donna,<br /> Please let me know when <strong><em>Amelia Airheart Butterfly</em></strong> is reprinted. This delightful story was a favorite with my nieces, Charissa and Naomi, 20 years ago when they were little girls. Every time we got together they would bring the book to me for a reading. In fact, the girls would meet me at the door with book in hand!<br /> We would sit together crowded on the sofa and I would read the story and then together the 3 of us would shout out the, &quot;Bye Bye Dragonfly.....&quot; verses. It was a blast.<br /> One reading was never quite enough and we would rip through it again and again.<br /> The girls are grown and married and still speak of it today; you helped us build a great memory together. Naomi is expecting a baby in January. The shower guests were asked to bring a favorite children's book to the shower on November 14 as a contribution to the home library and this is the first book I thought of. I will give her a print out of the cover with a special note stating this book is pending.<br /> I wish you the best of health and many blessings equal to the amount of joy given to me, Charissa, and Naomi, from this delightful story about <strong><em>Amelia Airheart Butterfly.</em></strong><br /> Thank you so much.<br /> Shirley Warren</p> <div style="margin-left:.5em;"> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;">1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:</div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"><span style="margin-right:5px;"><span class="swSprite s_star_5_0" title="5.0 out of 5 stars"><span>5.0 out of 5 stars</span></span> </span><span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>Wonderful work and stories!</strong>, February 1, 2011</span></div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"> <div> <div style="float:left;">By</div> <div style="float:left;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A2XTRZZX62WKLK/ref=cm_cr_pr_pdp"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Nicole R.

Dragonfly! (Paperback)</strong></div> Sometimes it's hard to escape Satan's lies when he tells us we're not good enough or that our God-given talents really aren't that special. That's the dilemma of Amelia Airheart Butterfly when Despicable Dragonfly taunts her that her that she was never meant to fly. She's full of doubt and discouraged until Orville Wright Caterpillar reminds her of the truth - that because God is in her, she can do anything. She decides once and for all to ignore the lies and does what she was made to do - FLY. Of all Donna's books, I think this one is my favorite because even as a child, I've listened to Satan's lies. The message within this book is so important - for kids and adults.</div> <div style="margin-left:.5em;"> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;">1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:</div> <div style="margin-bottom:.5em;"><span style="margin-right:5px;"><span class="swSprite s_star_5_0" title="5.0 out of 5 stars"><span>5.0 out of 5 stars</span></span> </span><span style="vertical-align:middle;"><strong>The Adventure of Amelia Airheart Butterfly in Bye Bye!
