(4) K-3 Illustrated by Gaye Chapman. This book dwells on life, death, and beauty using a butterfly's life as metaphor. When the Lord of Flight tells little girl Kaito that butterfly season is over, she finds a way to continue the beauty of flight by creating butterfly wings with cloth, spiders' silk, and bamboo twigs. The meticulously detailed angular illustrations echoing Japanese paintings are beautiful but busy.
