Brian and the Blue Butterfly is the first book in the Adventures of Brian series. These therapeutic children's books support children to resolve their thoughts, worries, and fears through the use of metaphorical storytelling, which allows children to reprogram their subconscious reactions to situations and find inner peace in times that cause difficulty or worry.

Each book in the collection supports a different situation, issue, or thought in a supportive and delicate way through the safe and non-intrusive power of stories. Each book combines both the wonders of a lovely story with these special writing techniques so that they can be enjoyed by the whole family, and they can be enjoyed even if the issue being discussed is not experienced.

In Brian and the Blue Butterfly, Brian the cockapoo is playing in his garden when he meets the most beautiful blue butterfly. He is very confused as to why she is different to him, though, and thorough their afternoon of playing they explore differences and why they make us unique and special.

The story explores differences in a creative and sensitive way, and through the use of metaphor and sensitive storytelling Brian helps to protect their innocence while allowing them to build their own understanding through its journey.

The Adventure of Brian books cover a range of subjects and worries that children experience and are the perfect companion for children aged three and upward.

Created by Nicola, an early years professional and lecturer who now works as a hypnotherapist, the series offers a non-intrusive way for children to work through difficulties in the imaginative medium of storytelling.
