This book is a great way to teach children to sleep and rest in God's promise by counting beautiful, colorful butterflies and sometimes black and white sheep.

This book was inspired while tucking my grandson into bed one night in 2021. Late in 2022, I convinced his mom (my daughter), Rachel Baring, to create the illustrations and fonts so we could print a few copies for our family. She was placing the final touches on the book when her husband was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive cancer at 32. Trey went to heaven a few months later.

I see God's timing in this little project. My hope for this book is that it would remind all readers to look for rainbows and God's promises even in the storms of life. And just as caterpillars turn into butterflies we who pass from this life to the next are also transformed into something more beautiful.
