Miss Flutterby Says Don't Bug Me
Introduction
Follow the adventures of Miss Flutterby as she flies into action in this first book of a series, teaching children important safety lessons. Miss Flutterby is a wonderfully whimsical, magical butterfly who lives in the playground next to the school. She can no longer fly very well because one day the playground bullies picked her up by her beautiful wings and smudged her magic dust. Now Miss Flutterby can only flutter around and fly a little crookedly. In fact, she flies so crookedly that she bumps into things. She is hopelessly clumsy, but oh so loveable and very smart! She is so smart that she has an important lesson to teach for practically every situation children find themselves in! You are going to love learning through her wonderful adventures.
The children adore Miss Flutterby and play games with her to make her happy.
Hide-and-go-seek and tag are always favorites! One day Zachary found an abandoned doll house for Miss Flutterby to live in because she can no longer reach the trees that she loves so much. (Butterflies do not sleep but they use sunshine for energy and need a safe place to rest when there is no sun.) The children especially love story time with Miss Flutterby. They go to the secret, magic garden where one day during story time the flowers became magical, smiled down at Miss Flutterby and began to grow and grow and grow! Then suddenly Miss Flutterby herself started getting bigger and bigger too! And so began the wondrous adventures of Miss Flutterby.
All of the children agree that the playground, and especially the magic garden, is their favorite place to be. But, one day, something bad happens at the playground. A stranger comes and takes away one of the children. The child is just gone! No one sees or hears anything.
Miss Flutterby is very lonely because the children have stopped coming to the playground. All day long the playground remains empty. She is also worried about the safety of the children who make her so happy. Then Miss Flutterby has an idea! Children need to be able to make a loud, unique noise that signals when they need adult help.
Join Miss Flutterby as she searches for just the right thing for the children to use to make noise. Not just any noise, you see, but a special noise. A sound that any child can make and a sound everyone can hear. This must be a special noise that will let everyone know when a child is in trouble and needs adult help.

About the Author

As a native Californian, retired small business entrepreneur, Realtor, Mother of three children and a Grandmother of four, one becomes very aware of what can and does happen to our children every day. My City of San Diego has had some very famous cases involving crimes against children. Statistics prove parents worry…
“In a 1998 study of parents' worries by pediatricians at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, nearly three-quarters of parents said they feared their children might be abducted. One-third of parents said this was a frequent worry -- a degree of fear greater than that held for any other concern, including car accidents, sports injuries, or drug addiction.”

I grew up when these things were whispered around dining room tables where “little pictures had big ears” meaning it wasn’t for the kids to hear. But we knew there was something ominous out there “waiting to get us” in the dark. Back then I guess ignorance was bliss or it seemed so…But there were many victims because of this silence.
Which is why from early adulthood, I have been an advocate for child safety and children’s rights. I call it “childhood safety”, to allow a child their childhood- but keep them safe as well.
I was haunted by a particular child abduction portrayed in a TV Movie; I could not quit thinking about it.
I woke in the middle of the night with the idea for Miss Flutterby and I jotted it down and the next day I sat and wrote the entire rough draft for the story in seven hours. I have to believe that this series of Miss Flutterby lessons are important books for children. In today’s hectic world Miss Flutterby helps parents and teachers open important dialog about safety issues with their children.
