This beautiful picture book by Roger Vaughan Carr and award-winning Ann James portrays the theory of the butterfly effect in a simple yet informative way.

Malani likes to play in the forest. One day she sees a beautiful butterfly and thinks about how fragile and ineffective it is compared to her father's elephant. But when the butterfly is startled, it creates a tiny puff of air that joins other winds, gaining strength and travelling across the world. When it returns, it has become something so powerful that it makes even the mighty elephant tremble.

Ann James

Over 35 years, Ann James has collaborated with many authors, illustrating picture books that almost always feature animals! In fact, her own pets are characters in The Midnight Gang; Dog In, Cat Out; The Way I Love You and Chester and Gil.

Ann's playful approach to illustrating is evident in her choice of media and techniques. Some of her memorable picture-book characters are in Lucy Goosey; I'm a Dirty Dinosaur; I'm a Hungry Dinosaur; Bird and Bear and Bird and Bear and the Special Day.

She looks forward to readers getting to know Samantha and Sebastian in A Very Quacky Christmas! Ann lives in Melbourne, where she and her partner run Books Illustrated, a gallery specialising in promoting picture books and their creators.
