Bettina the Bold: A Blind Butterfly Discovers How to Make Friends

In the piney woods of southeast Georgia, a Queen butterfly named Bettina emerges from her chrysalis into a world of darkness. Wondering why it is so dark, she sets out to find the sun. What Bettina doesn't understand is that no matter how hard she tries, her eyes don't see. Bettina is blind.

Frustrated, Bettina pushes a hungry bee. She insults a friendly grasshopper. Feeling as though she doesn't belong, she wishes she could go back to being a caterpillar.

Finding Bettina lost and lonely, a blind bat named Helen befriends her. Helen encourages Bettina to change her attitude. She instructs her on how to use polite behavior to attract friends as well as how to use her other senses to see. In an amazing transformation Bettina sheds her unfriendly ways and becomes the social Queen butterfly she was born to be.
