A first dance, and pre-performance jitters

Filo’s first siva fa’ataupati at a family wedding gives this picture book a clear focus: the nervous anticipation that can accompany a moment someone has been preparing for. Set around a Samoan celebration, the story brings together family, dance and the challenge of managing butterflies before stepping forward. Its 24-page picture-book format centers on one child’s experience, with the performance itself at the heart of the premise.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 encountering nerves around a performance or other new experience
  • Families interested in a picture book featuring Samoan culture, dance and a wedding celebration

Book overview

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

Filo is going to dance at his aunties' Samoan wedding! He's been rehearsing the steps for his first siva fa'ataupati for weeks, but now there are butterflies dancing in his belly.

As the day goes on, the butterflies grow bigger and bolder. Will they stop him from performing the siva and having a good time?
