About the Book:

A whimsical, empowering story, The Butterfly Studio, encourages girls to embrace their imaginations, trust their instincts, and redefine success on their own terms. Inez is a spirited young girl growing up in a world where grades come first and creativity is "too messy"—until two fashionable butterflies, Liv and Hazel, invite her into their magical studio. Through fabric dyeing, block printing, and design, Inez discovers the joy of creating with her hands and listening to her heart. The Butterfly Studio is a celebration of everyday creativity and the beautiful mess that comes with discovering who you are.
