Monarch Butterflies: A Migration Story

Monarch butterflies migrate thousands of miles to warmer weather and back again. Follow the incredible journey of a female monarch as she migrates from eastern United States to central Mexico to mate and lay eggs. It will take three generations of monarchs, each living about four weeks, to make the long flight home in this narrative nonfiction picture book. Author Lisa Amstutz and illustrator Howard Gray lend their scientific and creative expertise to this migration story, creating a book that will delight animal and nature lovers and support life science education. Includes a migration map, tips to protect animals and habitats, a glossary, and further resources.
