For over 50 years, Stripe and Yellow have been quietly changing the world. Trina Paulus wrote Hope for the Flowers in 1972 — a simple story about caterpillars, butterflies, and the courage to become. More than 4 million copies in English and 26 languages later, its message feels more necessary than ever.
