Butterfly Publications takes its name from a simple but powerful idea: small actions can lead to big change.
This insight appears across cultures and disciplines. A Chinese proverb suggests that the fluttering of a butterfly’s wings can be felt on the other side of the world. In The Phantom Tollbooth, Norton Juster expresses the same thought with gentle humour, observing that when even a housefly flaps its wings, a breeze travels around the globe. Edward Lorenz later gave this intuition a scientific foundation through chaos theory, demonstrating how tiny variations in one moment can produce vast differences later on. This became known as the “Butterfly Effect”.
We chose the name Butterfly Publications because it captures exactly what we hope these books will do. They tell stories about people who made an initial, often very small, decision to act — and through that decision set much larger changes in motion. We call this first step a Butterfly Moment.
The first book we have published is: Compassion - People Who Inspired the World.pdf
This book showcases individuals whose acts of compassion sparked significant change. From social reform to human rights, their stories demonstrate how small, courageous actions can have lasting global impact. It celebrates the power of compassion to inspire, transform, and shape societies for the better.
