Delve into a candid exploration of climate anxiety, tailored for children aged 8 and above, as well as their caring adults. Young Florent, a lad of ten, inadvertently eavesdrops on his mothers' conversation about the possibility of expanding their family. Their hesitation, rooted in concerns about the planet's future, sends the boy's mind spiralling into a whirlpool of fear and guilt. Has the Earth's suffering been exacerbated by an abundance of children—children like himself? Do his parents harbour regrets about bringing him into existence?

One fateful night, Florent's slumber is haunted by a nightmarish vision: forests reduced to ashes, his parents absconding on a spacecraft, leaving him stranded on a desolate planet. Upon waking, he resolves to maintain a vow of silence—until a heart-to-heart with his mothers alters everything.

In an era where climate change casts a shadow over children's mental well-being, "Butterfly Wings" emerges as a beacon of hope. This masterful work serves as both a balm for anxiety and a social-emotional learning tool, enabling parents and educators to broach the subject of climate change with youngsters through a lens of gentleness and optimism.

Through eloquent prose and captivating illustrations, this empathetic narrative confronts the very real challenge of climate anxiety in a manner accessible to young minds. "Butterfly Wings" equips children with the means to comprehend their emotions while simultaneously kindling hope for an alternative future.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
