Review Quotes:
"The marriage of art and science is seamless. . . . This isn't just a beautiful nature study, but an achievable invitation to participate in both art and conservation. A stunning exploration of butterfly cycles, care, and collective action--exceptional in both form and purpose." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"[An] awe-inspiring scientific tribute to butterflies. . . . It's a truly unforgettable look at how butterfly life cycles spiral outward." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Stunningly illustrated. For would-be scientists, environmentalists, and artists, this is a must for most collections." - School Library Journal (starred review)
"The dual presentation--simple poetic text on one page, followed by a spread of more detailed info--gives this broad usage in storytimes or solo research, and the interplay between the art and text makes for a few amusing games of seek-and-find as young readers can identify different species of butterflies mentioned in the narrative. This is a must for the classroom or home garden project." - Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
