A Butterfly Is Not an Ant Carolyn Cutler Hughes

A children's book about realizing it's okay to be different. A young butterfly arises from her cocoon not knowing who or what she is. She sees an ant hill with ants and assumes she is one of them. She spends time trying to perform all of the ants' duties and finds herself unhappy. She talks with the queen ant and quickly realizes she is a butterfly and not an ant at all. When she spreads her wings and flies, she realizes who and what she really is and this makes her very happy.
