A grandmother and her granddaughter explore together the secrets of nature and forge a bond that will live out forever. With Butterfly's Wings is a tender story about a girl who loses her beloved grandmother finds comfort in remembering her through what she learned from her.

It was my grandmother who taught me to listen to the song of the birds. Throw her eyes I learned to contemplate those little birds and to perceive what made them so special. Together we heard the blackbird sing among the rumble of the city that was slowly awakening, trying to guess where the bird was. Grandma was my best teacher: she taught me all the secrets of nature, the magic of flowers, the spirit of monarch butterflies… For this reason, even if she is now gone, she will live in me through the song of nature.

Premiado por la Fundación Cuatro Gatos 2023. Una abuela y su nieta exploran juntas los secretos de la naturaleza y forjan un vìnculo que perdurará para siempre. Con alas de mariposa es una tierna historia sobre una niña que pierde a su amada abuela y encuentra consuelo al recordarla a través de todo lo que aprendió de ella.

Fue la abuela la que me enseñó a escuchar el canto de las aves. Sus ojos me enseñaron a contemplar esos pequeños pájaros y a observar aquello que los hacìa tan especiales. Juntas escuchábamos al mirlo cantar entre los murmullos de la ciudad que se despertaba, intentado adivinar dónde se encontraba. La abuela era mi mejor maestra: me enseñaba todos los secretos de la naturaleza, la magia de las flores, el aliento de las monarcas… Por eso, aunque ella ya no esté, vivirá en mì a través del canto de la naturaleza.
