Society tells us that we need to be, look, and act in a certain way to be accepted. This pressure to conform can be incredibly overwhelming and damaging, leading people to hide their true selves. "Butterfly Skies" is an inclusive story that shows us a wide range of families so that we may celebrate the beauty of difference.

About the Author

---

Te'Keye' Lara is an intellectual and creative spirit who can usually be found chasing her twin boys. She's held several different titles in her career but being a mom is the most important job she holds. Now, she can add one more title, author. Writing a book was always on her bucket list but creating a children's book became increasingly important as she became a parent.

City-hopping all over the US with her wife brought its own challenges as a military spouse, but having kids further highlighted the challenges of being different in a world, which generally sides with sameness. It has been her mission to teach her kids to be good humans, to be their authentic selves, walk in their truth, to love everyone, and embrace differences as strength and beauty. She wants all kids to be confident self-thinkers and become the best version of themselves.
