Papillon was a bull. A French bull. A French bull with a dream. In Spanish bullfighting, the matadors are the champions, but in France, it is the bulls who are the heroes. There are no swords and no capes, and no bulls face any harm in the French arenas. While young men try to steal the ribbons from the horns of the fiercest bulls, the real champions of the ranch are the friendly bulls, the ones the other bulls trust to keep them safe. Papillon wants to make his friends proud; what he will learn is that there are many ways to be a hero. Papillon is a sweet story about friendship, leadership, and what it means to be a champion. It is based on the real-life bullfighting tradition in the South of France, where swords have been replaced by rosettes, tassels, and ribbons galore. Papillon is the second book by the writing and illustrating team of Laura Brennan and Agua Viva. Learn more at LauraBrennanWrites.com
