The Bison and the Butterfly: An ecosystem story

A touching nature story all about friendship, the environment, and accepting the differences of others.

In this sweet ecosystem story, meet Bison, who feels very sad and lonely. She’s big and hairy, and sometimes a bit clumsy… and she can’t imagine why anybody would want to be her friend. But

wise woodpecker knows that everybody likes different things, and that the other animals in the forest probably feel a lot differently than she imagines.

Soon enough, as Bison eats her breakfast, has her bath and does her – ahem – business, she meets many different creatures who love her exactly because of her big, shaggy ways.

This sweet friendship story is coupled with an

inspiring eco message. The book explains to children, in terms that they can relate to, how different animals within an ecosystem work in harmony and benefit one another.
