A new puppet and music show for all the family - a visual feast, changing colour and texture as it moves through the seasons, with plenty of magical puppet moments, music and songs, and giant caterpillar fun! This is a heart-warming, joyful story about a little girl who finds happiness through her experience of the metamorphosis of the Monarch Butterfly. Set within a Muslim family living in Ōtautahi Christchurch, the story is carried along by the underlying themes of healing through time and connection to nature, transporting children on a shared journey with Aya through all her ups and downs, and normalising different cultures in the hope that we can all live together in peace.
"As New Zealand's longest standing kids radio host and producer (rolling since 1996), it is rare these days for anything to completely wow me. Your performance did that on so many levels. My inner child was spellbound and I was lost in a sense of imagination and wonder as you brought this story and your puppets to life". Marchell Linzey of Radio Dunedin, July 2024
