Chris Haughton meets Jean Jullien in this exploration of cause and effect.

Using a sequence of escalating events a mother warns a young girl what could occur if she touches a butterfly (hence introducing the chaos theory of the butterfly effect in an age-appropriate STEM-friendly way).

This picture book will delight the very young who enjoy suspense and allow children to explore the question they love to ask "and then what happens?" with increasingly dramatic effect.

Presented for reviews at major review journals including Kirkus, Booklist, PW, SLJ, and Horn Book. Included in conference marketing for teachers and librarians. Educator/caregiver guide.
