The Fishing Smurf befriends a butterfly, who quickly becomes his very best friend. But unfortunately, a butterfly has a much shorter life than a Smurf. The Fishing Smurf must learn to overcome his grief in order to find his smile again. Everyone knows the Smurfs: 100 blue little beings who live peacefully and in harmony with nature deep in the forest. Their everyday life is fulfilling and happy, but even a Smurf can face a problem that he cannot solve alone. Fortunately, help is never far away in Smurf Village. And children sometimes have problems too. Learning to cope with fear and anger, eating well, or protecting the environment are things that children need to learn. Each volume of "Growing Up with the Smurfs" follows a Smurf as he solves a daily problem from which both small and large people can learn. Humorous stories that invite shared discovery - without a raised finger, but with informative afterwords by child psychologist Diane Drory.
