The Turquoise Butterfly Book Reading

May 17, 2026

11 a.m. & 1 p.m.

Join us at the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden for a special reading of The Turquoise Butterfly by author Dale Atkins. Victoria and her grandmother love to spend time in nature together. Through shared moments outdoors—observing, exploring, and simply being present—Victoria begins to understand how growth and renewal are part of both the world around her and within her. As she learns to face uncertainty with curiosity and courage, nature becomes a quiet teacher, offering comfort, perspective, and strength.

After the story time, there will be a butterfly coloring craft, so children can connect with the butterfly’s traits of resilience and transformation.
