A bold bad butterfly : $b & other fables and verses

A lively assortment of whimsical poems and fables opens the collection with the misadventures of a prideful butterfly who, after a teasing comment, tries on a bad-boy persona and finds himself tangled in a scientist’s net. The verses balance gentle satire with bright imagery, letting listeners hear the fluttering doubts of a creature learning that reputation can be as fragile as a wing.

Later pieces turn the same playful tone toward a modest bird sharing crumbs, a curious dialogue between the Sun, the Moon, and the sea, and a lion’s bold claim to the throne of the animal kingdom. Each short, rhymed narrative offers a fresh perspective on ordinary wonders, inviting listeners to reflect on pride, generosity, and the quiet humor hidden in everyday encounters—all delivered in a clear, lyrical voice that feels both timeless and warmly contemporary.
