One boy's love for his grandfather and the magical butterfly that eludes him. I was a visitor to Abdullah's country, and didn't understand. Until he told me his story, this story, and taught me about things more magic even than jewel-winged butterflies. Things like the love of a boy for his grandfather, who was once the best weaver in all the village. Abdullah's story was as unexpected and magical as the moment I saw that emerald-winged butterfly. Ages 7+
