Synopsis

Filo’s Butterflies is a charming own voices picture book about how a young Samoan boy calms his nerves before his first siva performance at a family wedding.

Aunty Rosie and Aunty Eve are getting married traditional Samoan style,  and it’s time for Filo to dance his first siva fa’ataupati! He’s been practising for weeks, but as the time for the siva gets closer, the butterflies in his tummy get bigger and bolder – they even flutter right up to his throat! Filo tries to calm them down, but will they stop him from performing the siva with his brothers and cousins?

Filo’s Butterflies features the siva fa’ataupati, a traditional Samoan dance only performed by men.

A propos du livre

À propos des auteurs

Born in Wellington, New Zealand, Litea Fuata moved to Brisbane, Australia, when she was six years old, with her parents and siblings. Litea comes from a very big Samoan aiga (family) with lots of nieces and nephews and plenty of siblings and cousins. Growing up in a big aiga meant she had lots of adventures and was never short of someone to play with but, on the flip side, she also had to ensure she was being heard above all the commotion! Her first picture book, White Sunday, was illustrated by Myo Yim. 
Litea lives with her partner and her cat, Gordon, in Brisbane, and works in health care.

Myo Yim is a Korean author and illustrator living in Byron Bay, Australia. Her first book, To the Forest Night, was published by Yellow Imagination Books in South Korea in 2019. Myo illustrated White Sunday and wrote and illustrated Rajah Street (Walker Australia). Myo works across many mediums, 2d, 3d, digital and analogue, but pencil drawing is her favourite tool to navigate this rough world.
