🦋 Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about your special order
Will my book and FlutterFlyers arrive together?
The book and FlutterFlyers ship separately. Sherry Krehbiel personally ships each copy of
First Comes a Butterfly from her home in Kansas, while FlutterFlyers are shipped directly
from our warehouse. You’ll receive two tracking numbers — one for the book, one for the butterflies.
Both usually arrive within just a few days of each other.
How do the FlutterFlyers connect to the story?
In First Comes a Butterfly, Isla follows a monarch through its incredible life cycle.
The FlutterFlyers bring that same magic to life — they’re a playful, real-world way to experience transformation.
When you wind them up and watch them take flight, you’re seeing the story come alive!
How do I use the FlutterFlyers?
Simply twist the butterfly’s elastic band 25–30 times, then tuck it into a card, book, or envelope.
When opened, it flutters out in a burst of color and motion. Each one is reusable — just rewind and fly again!
Kids love using them for surprises, party favors, and classroom fun.
How many FlutterFlyers are included?
Each bundle includes one hardback copy of First Comes a Butterfly and a
5-pack of reusable FlutterFlyers® in assorted colors and designs.
Is this really a small-business collaboration?
Yes! This partnership supports two independent creators who care deeply about storytelling and nature.
Author Sherry Krehbiel fulfills each book herself, and our small FlutterFlyers team
ships the butterflies from our Midwest warehouse. Your purchase directly supports small business,
education, and a shared passion for monarch conservation.
What age range is the book best for?
The story is perfect for children ages 4–10, but families and teachers love it too.
It’s an ideal read-aloud that gently teaches about the monarch’s life cycle, curiosity, and care for nature.
What if my package arrives damaged or missing an item?
We’ll take care of it! If your book or FlutterFlyers arrive damaged or go missing,
email sales@flutterflyers.com. We’ll work directly with Sherry to make things right quickly.
Can I send this bundle as a gift?
Absolutely! Just enter your recipient’s address at checkout. We can include a short gift message with the
FlutterFlyers shipment. It’s the perfect surprise for birthdays, teachers, and nature-loving families.
Why are butterflies important to our planet?
Butterflies aren’t just beautiful — they’re vital pollinators that help flowers, fruits, and vegetables grow.
Monarchs in particular need our care, as their habitats have been shrinking. By sharing this story
and flying your FlutterFlyers, you’re helping spark curiosity and compassion for the natural world.
Small acts — like planting milkweed or teaching kids about pollinators — make a big difference.
