Synopsis
A luminously illustrated and thoroughly informative picture book poetry collection by Sibert Honor–winning duo Melissa Stewart and Sarah S. Brannen that captures the beauty and complexity of monarch and mourning cloak butterflies.
Monarch and mourning cloak butterflies may seem similar on the surface; they are about the same size and common throughout North America.
But following along at a butterfly’s-eye-view, readers will discover how they live in different habitats, eat different foods, and have different strategies for avoiding enemies and making it through winter.
Because even though all butterflies have the same basic body features and life cycle, each species has its own special way of surviving.
