Kissed by a Butterfly

This story has been written to get the children of today--and their parents--excited about the natural world and to encourage them to get out there and explore. The author and most people the author has had the opportunity to discuss his concern with (about the kids of today spending most or all their time in front of a screen) agree there is a need to get them outside and investigating what Mother Nature has put there for them to enjoy.
Be it in a park, on an actual farm, or even in their own backyard, there are many wonders available if one would just look. Libraries, universities, and other schools have outdoor activities available, many at no cost.
Most of the farmers the author knows would be glad to show people around their farm and maybe even allow them to explore it on their own. Their parents might be pleasantly surprised at how much one will enjoy it too.
Get your young ones out there and get them started investigating what the natural world has to offer. You'll be glad you did.
