Kiri loves to make things. When she receives an origami set for her birthday, she can't wait to try making a butterfly, just like the one Auntie Lu had made. Kiri chooses a bright purple paper and carefully follows the steps, but the paper tears after just four folds, Her beautiful paper is ruined!
Disappointed but not discouraged, Kiri continues to practice folding origami butterflies. The one spring day in the park Kiri is inspired to make a picture of what she sees, and her creative, colorful solution turns out to be more rewarding than she could have imagined.
Butterflies for Kiri is a gentle testament to a child's determination and creativity, and like Kiri, children will be inspired to make their own origami butterflies. Easy-to-follow instructions are provided at the end of the story.
