Flutterbugs: The Story of Spice & Cabbage
Flutterbugs: The Story of Spice & Cabbage
by Artrise, Darrin, and Litzi of Reach Incorporated
Cabbage and Spice are two caterpillars who become friends but are forced into different schools and lifestyles when one grows up to be a moth and the other a butterfly. In their insect world, butterflies and moths are taught to hate each other-- butterflies are “spectacular” and loved by humans, while moths are seen as pests. Will the two be able to overcome these barriers and remain friends?

Meet the Authors
As reading tutors to elementary-aged students, the teens of Reach noticed that few children's books reflected their lived experience as youth of color. So they decided to take action and write their own. Now these D.C. teens are diversifying children's literature, one smart-fun-real-brave-bold story at a time.
Darrin is a creative young man who co-authored Mariah Finds a Way and Flutterbugs. He attended Eastern Senior High when he authored his books. He is interested in computer science and art.
