Butterfly and Friends by Tamara Martin, is the third book in her series of illustrated poems. This is a delightful story about a little Butterfly who has just lost his best friends. Ant and Flea walk by and see the sad Butterfly on bended knee. Butterfly is so sad that he tells Ant and Flea he has lost his will to live and has even lost his flair. In desperation Ant and Flea quickly explain that friends may go but they will be back in a short time. Relieved with this explanation Butterfly takes to the air fluttering his wings with delight and exaltation. The moral is that friends may go but they will be back to continue the show.
