La mariposa monarca

Following the success of My Life as a Bee, Kirsten Hall and Isabelle Arsenault invite us to follow the extraordinary journey of the monarch butterfly: from its birth as a caterpillar and its enclosure in its chrysalis, to the moment it unfurls its wings and embarks on a migration that will take it thousands of kilometers in search of warmer temperatures. With rhyming text that evokes the butterfly's perspective and illustrations brimming with color and movement, this picture book celebrates the beauty of an endangered species and reminds us of the importance of caring for and preserving it. The text and illustrations balance tenderness with naturalistic rigor, making it ideal for sparking an interest in nature in young readers. Here is a story of journeys and transformations that is also an invitation to look at our surroundings with wonder and respect. And to protect them. Changes in this butterfly's habitat, the use of pesticides, and the disappearance of wild flora threaten the entire species. And this picture book is an artistic call to action.
