Cypress, TX -- (SBWire) -- 09/27/2013 --As one of the earth’s most beautiful and gracious inhabitants, butterflies have stunned humans for thousands of years with their miracle-like transformations.

- Thought-provoking and whimsical butterfly quotes

This tantalizing reading experience will be a treat for readers of all ages.

As the author explains, her book will also help butterflies directly.

“We’re donating a portion of all profits to the National Butterfly Center. Their great work involves butterfly conservation and scientific research, as well as educating children and adults from coast to coast. In terms of society, it appears funding butterfly research is sadly low on most people’s priority lists. Therefore, we see this is a vital fundraising vehicle,” says Clark.

Since its release, the book has garnered a consistent string of rave reviews.

“This is an inspiring book on an ethereal topic - the beauty and unique nature of butterflies. The anthology of poems is drawn from American, British, and French canons and are exhilarating. Many of the poems have the power and energy to transport the readers to a world of natural beauty and wonder. Readers who are fond of sonnets and the work of literary luminaries will be riveted by this collection. The anthology is beautifully illustrated and keeps in mind the visual need readers have in connecting the poems to the images,” says Jackie O’Neal for Readers’ Favorite.

David Toner was equally as impressed, adding, “This book is pleasant reminder of the joys of nature and of poetry. In our busy lives filled with the latest distractions, it is easy to lose touch with both. The infinite variety of butterflies and the many efforts to describe, and preserve their worlds, are nicely caught in the pages of this charming book. For some of us it may be a pleasant reminder on a winter day but for others it may be a gift that could be an introduction to lifelong fascinations.”
