Kiri loves to make things. When she receives an origami set for her birthday, she can't wait to make a butterfly, just like the one Auntie Lu made. Kiri follows the steps but the beautiful purple paper tears after just four folds. Disappointed but not discouraged Kiri continues to practice folding origami butterflies, until one day in the park she is inspired to make a picture of what she sees, and her colourful, creative solution turns out to be more rewarding than she could have imagined. A gentle testament to a child's determination and creativity.
