Butter Wants to Win 

When Butter the caterpillar loses a race, he wanders off to wallow in his sadness. But what he finds is a wishful idea that transforms his grief into confidence. Adorable and curious, Butter’s story teaches us that not everyone can win, but everyone is good at something–and in Butter’s case, that something is his imagination. Butter Wants to Win encourages children to feel good about themselves and teaches them that winning is an attitude, not just an achievement. With a focus on empathy, self-belief, and recognizing the winner in all of us, this story will encourage anyone to be their best!
