About the book:
Join the monarchs as they embark on a transcontinental journey home in this moving story about migration.
As the sun dawns in Canada, a flutter of monarch butterflies take flight, ready to begin their months-long journey to their ancestral home in Mexico. The migration will not be easy, but it is necessary for the next generation of monarchs to be born. Brought to life with illustrations as vivid as the monarch’s iconic orange and black hues, this story invites young readers to experience the monarch’s migration from the butterflies’ point of view as they search for food, huddle together through storms, and tirelessly fly south.
Parents and educators alike will find much to love about this poetically written book. The story touches on how climate change and deforestation are impacting monarchs, and kid-friendly back matter provides additional information about the butterflies, including their life cycle, anatomy, and migratory patterns, as well as several simple ways children can help monarch butterflies themselves.

My thoughts:
Isn't this cover beautiful!
I appreciate that this book provides information for children (and parents) to learn together. The information about monarchs is presented in an easy to understand format that young children will be able to understand with the use of the illustrations. I enjoyed reading the facts in the back about monarchs and how to get involved in helping them.

This book is appropriate for preschool through elementary aged children. It would make a nice addition to your personal or school library, especially for elementary science classes.
I received a copy of this book from Hachette Book Group for my honest review. Thank you.
