Wings of Courage is a gentle, enchanting children’s story set in the heart of a Magical Garden, where Danny, a young monarch butterfly with glowing orange wings, is learning what it truly means to be brave. Though his wings are strong, his confidence is still growing, and each day brings a new discovery that tests his heart as much as his flight.
Together with his best friends—Betty, kind and thoughtful, and Blue Dash, quick and fearless—Danny explores a garden alive with wonder.
Dewdrops shimmer with hidden stories, secret chambers glow behind waterfalls, fairies appear with quiet wisdom, and even the shadows hold lessons waiting to be learned. The garden is beautiful, but it is not without danger, and when a clever spider threatens their peaceful world, Danny must decide whether courage is something you are born with—or something you choose.
Through small mistakes, brave moments, and the steady strength of friendship, Danny learns that courage does not mean being the fastest or the boldest. It means standing together, trusting one another, and believing that kindness and hope can overcome fear. With each challenge, his wings seem to grow lighter, carrying him closer to the brave butterfly he is meant to become.
Written with warmth and gentle humor, Wings of Courage offers young readers ages 6–9 a reassuring journey through friendship, discovery, and self-belief. Perfect for bedtime reading or early chapter book adventures, this magical tale reminds children that even the smallest wings can rise high—and that light always finds its way back after the shadows.
