More than a Flicker
PUBLISHED ON: JULY 10, 2026
Are You Ready to Fly?
In the quiet corners of a Minnesota field, Flicker, a small caterpillar, is trying to survive. He’s got vibrant yellow rings, a healthy appetite for milkweed, and a serious fear of the unknown. While his friend Barnabee, a bumblebee, is content to buzz in circles, Flicker feels a strange tugging at his heart—a “map” he can’t see, but can’t ignore.
Then Flicker prepares for his big metamorphosis.
Locked away in the dark, silent world of a chrysalis, Flicker must face his biggest fears alone. Or so he thinks. In the silence, he discovers a Voice—a gentle, yet loving guide, a still small voice, who promises that his time in seclusion is preparing him for his life as a King Monarch.
When Flicker finally emerges with fiery-orange wings, he isn’t just a butterfly; he’s a majestic Monarch ready for a 2,000-mile journey into the unknown.
Join Flicker and his spirited blue butterfly friend, Beauty, on an epic migration that will test everything they believe.
More than a Flicker is more than just a story about nature or adventure—it’s a journey about finding your purpose when the world feels too big, while discovering that the Creator who gave us all wings will never leave us to fly alone.
