"The Butterfly" by Patricia Polacco is a poignant story set during World War II, depicting the friendship between a young Jewish girl named Monique and a courageous moth named the Butterfly. When Monique learns about the dangers surrounding her family due to the Nazi occupation in France, her bond with the butterfly symbolizes hope and resilience amidst adversity. As she befriends a Jewish man hiding in her home, the story unfolds themes of bravery, compassion, and the power of friendship in the face of fear. Ultimately, it highlights the importance of standing against hatred and embracing humanity. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
