Butterfly Books

Butterfly Books Butterfly Books is a non-profit group that collects and distributes quality preloved children's books to communities in need

Butterfly Books hatched in the spring of 2022, in honour of our beautiful friend Amanda Papps, an inspirational and dedicated teacher who devoted much of her career to helping children develop their literacy skills. Through Butterfly Books we wish to continue Amanda’s work by helping to connect children in need with quality preloved books to inspire and foster a love of reading. All books donated

to Butterfly Books are collated, assessed and sorted into age and content appropriate packs before being supplied to the various agencies, charitable groups and school communities we work with. This enables us to provide quality, thoughtfully selected book collections to some of the most vulnerable children within our community.

🌈 💕This lovely note came in with a book donation today, and reminds us of just how loved our special friend Amanda - whom Butterfly Books was founded in memory of - was to all of us blessed enough to have known her💕🌈
She is present in everything we do at Butterfly Books, by inspiring us, guiding us, and connecting us with the perfect people at the perfect time😊 🦋
Maria, thank you so much for your lovely words and for sharing your story, as well as these beautiful books. What better way to honour and remember Amanda than with kind words and generosity. You are a star 🌟 💕

🏝️Meitaki Maata! We were recently able to supply Araura College in the beautiful Cook Islands with a collection of books, thanks to your continued generosity 🌈 Resources such as books are not easy to come by for schools located on the outer islands, so we are super happy we could assist in getting these books to where they were needed most 🦋 Big shout out to our friend Shelley at the Cook Islands Ministry of Education for helping make this happen! 💕x
