Glory Be!

Glory Be!

One chilly fall morning, a farmer makes a miraculous discovery in her window flowerbox. A new monarch butterfly is fluttering its wings, poised to take flight. But as the farmer continues to watch, she sees that the ends of its wings won't unfold. Determined to help, the farmer names the butterfly Glory and tends to him daily. But will Glory ever be strong enough to fly free? Promoting tolerance and allyship, author Veronica O'Sullivan's uplifting message of acceptance and kindness inspires younger generations to see that all creatures have purpose. Inspired by real-life events, Glory Be! opens our eyes to mystery and magic of nature and teaches children to look for ways to help and support others. Born and raised in the Hudson Valley of New York with the Appalachian Trail running through the woods behind her childhood home, Veronica Jaeger O'Sullivan grew up with a love for exploring nature. As a sociologist who is curious about individuals, their environments, and the evolution of their interdependent communities, she believes that the relationships that exist in nature are mirrored in society. After an accomplished career in the legal-services industry, Veronica is pursuing her purpose along a new, creative path with the publication of her first children's book dedicated to her friend Lisa. Veronica lives in sunny South Carolina and enjoys year-round walks on the beach with her husband and son.
