Butterflies Belong Here is a powerful story of everyday activism and hope. In this moving story of community conservation, a girl finds a home in a new place and a way to help other small travelers.
This book is about the real change children can make in conservation and advocacy--in this case, focusing on beautiful monarch butterflies.
- From Deborah Hopkinson and Meilo So, the acclaimed team behind
Follow the Moon Home- An empowering, classroom-ready read
- The protagonist is a girl whose family has recently immigrated to the United States.
I know what to look for: large black-and-orange wings with a border of small white specks, flitting from flower to flower, sipping nectar. But though I looked hard, I couldn't find even one. I wondered if monarch butterflies belonged here. I wondered if I did, too. Butterflies Belong Here is proof that even the smallest of us are capable of amazing transformations.
- Equal parts educational and heartwarming, this makes a great gift for parents and grandparents, as well as librarians, science teachers, and educators.
- Those interested in beautiful butterflies and everyday activism will find this lovely book both motivating and inspiring.
- Perfect for children ages 5 to 8 years old
