Synopsis

Have you ever been scared of the dark? Or big life changes? Then let a butterfly show you the way.

I Am a Butterfly is a charming story, told in dazzling photographs, about a monarch butterfly who faces metamorphosis, overcomes her fear of the dark chrysalis, and takes flight with beautiful new wings. Big, beautiful changes, no matter how scary at first, can bring new friends and new opportunities filled with delicious nectar.

Resources and action points provide many ways to become actively engaged in protecting the monarch butterfly population at home or at school. You’ll learn how to attract monarchs to your own backyard, which will be lots of fun and can help grow back the endangered monarch butterfly population.

Although perfect for teachers, parents, kids, and monarch butterfly lovers, it’s also a great book for adults going through big changes who need to be reminded that after the dark scary chrysalis come the beautiful wings.

So whether you’re teaching kids about metamorphosis, or you’re a kid or adult who loves monarchs and the wonders of nature, or you’re simply finding your way through one of life’s big changes or challenges, a butterfly can show the way.

·Beautiful photos of each stage of metamorphosis
·Ideas to attract monarchs to your school or backyard
