Apples and Butterflies is a gentle, lyrical poem about a family"s autumn vacation that shows Prince Edward Island in a light we don"t often see—the "bright blue and orange light" of fall. Tamara Thiébaux-Heikalo"s rich and wild illustrations build a narrative with the text, depicting the family beachcombing, flying kites and picking apples. Shauntay Grant"s award-winning poetry makes readers long to go with her and conveys the wide-open space of the island.
