My Butterfly Family/Mi Familia de Mariposas

My families are inspired me to know who I am and my heritage background from. My butterflies mean flying spread from start to end as migration for journey. I want to show how they were brave to do risk dangerous journey from our birth country to another home country. The big butterfly as mother and little butterfly as daughter had long journey together to find their home to settle down for growing more roots continually. Then they spread more butterflies over the world to let everyone know where we are from.
