Rikki didn’t want to move or leave her cousin behind. Her new house is lovely, and her room is beautiful, but everything feels different.
There’s a new neighborhood. A new baby sister. And all Rikki wanted for her birthday was a puppy. That promise made things feel a little more okay.
But the lease stated that no pets were allowed. Rikki felt heartbroken. But her parents didn’t give up. They found a different kind of surprise. It wasn’t a puppy.
Her parents take her to ButterflyLand, where she receives a host plant with live caterpillars. As Rikki cares for her new pets, she discovers the magic of metamorphosis, the butterfly life cycle, and how caring for living creatures can bring unexpected joy. This interactive book includes a Counting to 10 Challenge, ten real butterfly varieties to identify, the name of an actual host plant, educational science content, and a community birthday party that brings neighbors together.
A warm, honest story for ages 4-13 about promises, change, and how love sometimes looks like finding a new way forward. Look for the original storybook, “Rikki Wants A Pet,” featuring vibrant, colorful illustrations set against real-world photographs.
