All I can remember is this girl's family was very poor. She walked to school up a dirt road. Either collected butterflies or they were just always around her. Played the violin. Hid a jar of money for something special/emergencies? Was going to a friend's birthday party, but couldn't buy a new dress so her mother sewed her one.

My sisters and I loved this movie when we were younger, but can't think of the name for anything! If you can help, you are awesome! :) Thanks!

It might be "Little Heroes" ( http://www.amazon.com/Little-Heroes-Keith-Christensen/dp/B00005Q2YU/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1297050688&sr=1-1 ).
