A beautiful butterfly is courted by many suitors. In time she finds a husband who has a voice sweet and soft enough to sing their future babies to sleep. But no sooner does the honeymoon begin than he is swallowed by a giant fish! All of nature joins the butterfly in mourning for her true love, setting off a comical chain of events that leads to the happiest of happy endings.

Enchantingly original paintings of the beautiful butterfly and her friends reveal the humor and sweetness of this enduring Spanish folktale.
