About the Book

This is the story of Gary Grey Moth who desperately wants to be seen and Florence Butterfly who has had enough of being noticed. What would happen if they swapped cardigans and could each be the bug they always wanted to be? This fast-paced and perceptive story is about expectations and identity, told from the unlikely but utterly relatable perspectives of a moth and a butterfly. They're not so different, if you really think about it. What will it take to be seen for who they truly are?    From Melbourne-based author Charlotte Lance and internationally renowned artist David Booth (also known as Ghostpatrol), comes this humorous, insightful coming-of-age junior fiction novel, illustrated in 2/c throughout.   "Perspective is everything in this illustrated chapter book, which revolves around two insects who couldn’t be more different....Booth’s grayscale doodles, accented with yellow, are the perfect complement for this quirky celebration of self-expression." Booklist 

About the Author :
Charlotte Lance is a Melbourne-based author/illustrator who loves creating stories within stories. As the mother of three wild boys she often draws on her everyday life for inspiration and hilarity. She also has the uncanny knack for creating scenes that truly come to life. David Booth, who also works under the pseudonym Ghostpatrol, is a Hobart-born, Melbourne-based artist whose practice shifts between studio works, site specific installations, commissioned murals and commercial design. His work has been exhibited at and acquired by several leading institutions including the National Gallery of Australia, Art Gallary of South Australia, National Gallary of Victoria and Parliament House Art Collection.

Review :
"Perspective is everything in this illustrated chapter book, which revolves around two insects who couldn’t be more different....Booth’s grayscale doodles, accented with yellow, are the perfect complement for this quirky celebration of self-expression." Booklist  "Gary’s a nine-year-old gray moth, and the gray cardigan he wears symbolizes his 'practically invisible' existence, in which he often wonders what it would be like to be someone else. His popular butterfly classmate Florence, meanwhile, wears a brilliant, colorful cardigan that conceals an apparently un-butterfly-like interest in the color gray, which she sees as 'full of possibilities.' In a narrative that unfolds with passion and intensity, Australian writer Lance brings the two beings together...School drama and insect details are wittily proffered (cardigans are put on 'over one, two, three then four arms') in a lightly wrought be-yourself story about how 'Clothes do not maketh the Man, the Woman, the Moth or the Butterfly.'" Publishers Weekly  "A cute and quirky story about self-expression and the courage to be seen." Books and Publishing A cheerful and refreshing story with insightful perspectives shared by a moth and butterfly. The easy to follow story structure, along with delightful tricoloured illustrations by David Booth will make this story a popular choice!"--ReadPlus
