Oh yay! Just in time for spring. 🍃 Thanks for ordering! Enjoy!! 😊 🦋 #ButterflySea #library #springbooks #teachers #bookswithlayers #siblingstory #imagination #cameras #memory #gardening #mermaids

It’s incredible how the sky from yesterday’s walk matches the opening spreads of #ButterflySea.
Art by @marielaurecouet.bsky.social matches the February mood.

It’s a picture book about a young photographer searching for butterflies but it’s really about relationships, making memories, and hope.

Thank you so much for the Take 5 interview about #BUTTERFLYSEA @beckywalkerbooks.bsky.social

Here’s a look at my real life version of #BUTTERFLYSEA
🦋 🌊

What do you think, @marielaurecouet.bsky.social I’d say it’s pretty close to the East Coast version. #nature #kidlit #outdoors #greenteacher #childhood #flowers #mermaids

I can't wait until this beautiful book is out in the world! #ButterflySea @booksbycindy.bsky.social @marielaurecouet.bsky.social @tielmourpress.bsky.social

Illustration from the picture book, Butterfly Sea, shows a seaside scene in shades of greys and greens. Ominous clouds cover the sky. To the left of the picture, a two-story house perches on the grassy shoreline, the glow from its windows adding light to the scene.

I'm a sucker for a broody seascape, so this 2-page spread in #ButterflySea made me swoon. Only 15 more days until this gorgeous picture book is available for purchase!

Butterfly Sea, by Cynthia Mackey and Marie-Laure Couët, is a charming story that uses lyrical language and soft, beautiful illustrations to remind us to slow down and enjoy the quiet surprises in life.🥰 🦋 #ButterflySea @booksbycindy.bsky.social @marielaurecouet.bsky.social @tielmourpress.bsky.social

Jenny Mattern's review of Butterfly Sea 5/5: "If you want to see a butterfly, or maybe a sea of butterflies..." Thus begins this sweet, nature-based picture book by Cynthia Mackey. Accompanied by beautiful illustrations by Marie-Laure Couët...

Sibling relationships don’t have to be filled with rivalry. That’s why my next picture book, #ButterflySea, depicts siblings in conflict but also sibling love and empathy. Relationships are complex. 🦋 🌊 📕 🧒 👦
