THE LITTLE BUTTERFLY
By Josie Whitehead
Josie's Voice Recording
Music and song by Martin Torbert,
New Jersey, USA
There was a little butterfly
Sitting on a flower.
Down came the raindrops
And he had a little shower.
​
Out came the sunshine
And dried his tiny wings;
Then off flew the butterfly
To land on other things.
​
Then off flew the butterfly To land on other things.

This is, beyond doubt, one of the favourite poems for children, as simple as it is. I had a little girl aged one, from Italy, who learned it by heart and she loved to recite it and to flutter round the room, flapping her arms, and covering her head when the rain comes down. I'm so glad that Martin has put it to music for us and Peter has illustrated it. Thank you both. Josie
