The flap of a butterfly’s wings creates a breeze that begins an incredible journey around the world affecting the lives of everyone and everything it touches. It fills sails, exposes lost treasures, carries a stubborn kite skyward, and even thwarts an attempted pie theft.

Brought to life with 28 pages of beautiful water color illustrations and written in a playful rhyming pattern, the independently-published When the Breeze Blew Through celebrates how simply being oneself can help others in unintended ways.

When the Breeze Blew Through is now available in New Orleans at Blue Cypress Books (8126 Oak St.), Home Malone (629 Carrollton St. and 4610 Magazine St.), Octavia Books (513 Octavia St.) as well as on Amazon.
