Green Butterfly -- Poor superdog. He may be tied to a pole. He may lead a physically circumscribed life. But that does not mean that is mind is fettered! A witty and understated exchange with a self-absorbed butterfly makes clear that it is one's view of the world that matters.

Expressive drawings of a winsome little dog and a know-it-all butterfly, told sparely in delightfully ironic words, make a subtly powerful, zen story about freedom and what it really means.

Raphael Thierry is an award-winning artist and performance artist who was born in Tunisia and now lives in Paris. He is the author-artist of nine books about superdog, all published in France. Green Butterfly is the first to be published in English.
