🦋 🐛 Meet Cristal-Hope and her caterpillar friend. She just emerged from her Chrysalis today at Butterfly Wonderland.

After I read my book at story time, the staff presented this cool butterfly to everyone and stated they named her after me 💜. Then she was set free to fly in the forest in the atrium.

How cool is that?! 🐛🦋

So love Dolly and all that she has done to get books in the hands of children.
