Butterfly Girls follows the adventures of two friends who share a special secret.

In their sleepy seaside village of St Ives, there's a park, and in the park, under the Eucalypts, there's a clover patch, and inside the clover patch, there's another world. Introducing a new series for early readers. Join best friends Abby and Eve as they discover the world of the Butterfly Bunnies, a place where magical things happen and the most important thing is friendship.

Eve has a special way with horses. More than anything, she wants to save up enough money to buy the pony she has been taking care of, but now it seems that Tiffany Cornish wants him too. Will Tiffany Cornish get her own way again?

Meanwhile, in Butterfields, Rosy, the Butterfly Bunny, has found a baby unicorn while tending the gardens. The unicorn is lost and all alone. Can Abby and Eve help reunite the unicorn with his parents, or will the Grizzly Moth Hare stop them in their butterfly tracks?

Ages: 6-9 years

Author: Anna Pignataro has created over 40 books for children. She has won the Crichton Award for Illustration, and been shortlisted for Picture Book of the Year by the CBCA and YABBA. Her most popular books are published in eleven different countries and enjoyed in seven languages.

Anna daydreams an awful lot and likes to look at trees. Believe it or not, she used to mix magic spells in a witch's shop. Maybe that's why she makes up so many stories. Wintertime is her favourite season, but she wouldn't want to be stuck there forever because her hair would go frizzy. Anna made a wish once and it came true, so now she makes a wish at least twice a year, maybe even more! She does have a real four-leaf clover, but she doesn't have a tree house; she has to share her daughter Isabella's cubby. Luckily, it's quite big. Anna lives in Melbourne, in a place just like St Ives.

Selling Points:

  • Suitable for independent readers
  • Explores the power of friendship and teamwork
  • The resolution of the problem in the magical world has a relationship to problems the girls are having in their real life
  • The end of the book has a craft activity and recipe related to the story
