Following the success of "Bee: A Peek-Through Picture Book," Kirsten Hall and Isabelle Arsenault invite us to follow the extraordinary journey of the monarch butterfly: from its birth as a caterpillar, to its enclosure in its chrysalis, until it unfurls its wings and embarks on a migration that will take it thousands of miles in search of warmer temperatures. With
a rhyming text that evokes the butterfly's perspective
and illustrations full of color and movement, this book celebrates the beauty of an endangered species and reminds us of the importance of caring for and preserving it. The texts and illustrations balance tenderness and naturalistic accuracy, making them ideal for sparking an interest in nature in the youngest readers.
Here is a story of travel and transformation that
is also an invitation to look at what surrounds us with
awe and respect. And to protect it. Changes in the habitat
of this butterfly, the use of pesticides, and the disappearance
of wild flora threaten the entire species. And
this book is an artistic call to action.
