7 posts | 9 read | 1 reading | 9 to read
A poignant story filled with heart-warming courage as a young girl takes on a harrowing journey to be reunited with her mother. Ami lives on Culion, an island in the Philippines for people who have leprosy. Her mother is among the infected. Ami loves her home: with its blue seas and lush forests, Culion contains all she knows and loves. But the arrival of malicious government official Mr. Zamora changes her world forever. Islanders untouched by sickness are forced to leave for a neighboring island, where the children are placed in an orphanage. Banished across the sea, Ami is desperate to return to Culion before her mother's death. She finds a strange and fragile hope in a colony of butterflies. Can they lead her home before it's too late? Heartrending yet hopeful, celebrated newcomer Kiran Hargrave's novel is a story about loss, perseverence, and faith.

The description sounds like this is a sad story but the cover is beautiful. #butterfly #bloomingbibliophiles

Took the kids to the library today to sign my daughter up for a book club they have there. Their current read is the tagged book. Looks interesting. She also picked out a graphic novel, and her brother found another Rescue Zoo book. I picked out Around the World in 80 Days to read to them both.

And on my way past a display my hand just grabbed Ready Player One. Nevermind that I already have a dozen library books tbr. 🙄 You know how it is. 😂

Beautiful, one of those books that teaches without lecturing. The butterfly motif was well done and Ami as a character was great fun. In the midst of all the adventure, there is a serious lesson about tolerance, understanding and the timelessness of love. If you liked The Girl of Ink and Stars, this book is for you 😊
