Butterflies Belong Here: A Story of One Idea, Thirty Kids, and a World of Butterflies

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- Add it to the shelf with books like Thank You, Earth: A Love Letter to Our Planet by April Pulley Sayre, The Honeybee by Kirsten Hall, and Greta and the Giants: Inspired by Greta Thunberg’s Stand to Save the World by Zoë Tucker
