'Butterfly is no ordinary girl. On the day she is born, the jealous Romola casts a wicked spell and little Butterfly grows wings, making her different from all the other children. When people stop coming to see her beloved family and friends performing at the circus, Butterfly reaches into her heart and comes up with a way to save the circus from closing forever.

'Butterfly's Circus is a charming, magical story about finding your own special place in the world.' (From the publisher's website.)
