Free As a Butterfly

Mindy Monarch flies home to California for a long winter vacation, and in the Spring, the new generation of Monarchs begins the return journey to Canada...with much worry of finding milkweed to lay eggs and flowers for nectar. But the discovery of school children planting a butterfly garden saves the day. News of the garden travels fast and school children everywhere plant butterfly gardens so that generations of Western Monarchs are born and continue to fly the migration route from Canada to their over wintering sites in California. The Monarchs wish the school children, their heroes, nectar as sweet as theirs, "to pollinate the world with peace and hope and a spirit that will soar as free as a butterfly."Boone, Sheila is the author of 'Free As a Butterfly', published 2003 under ISBN 9781891577796 and ISBN 1891577794.
