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. Boone’s story of the life cycle and migration of the Western Monarch is one that very young children can understand and spend hours enjoying...reading and coloring original illustrations by Susi Grell Knox that include a fun foldout page of the Welcome Home Monarch Festival.

Relive the days of the British Empire at home and abroad, through the times of Britain's longest-reigning monarch.
