Welcome to Airplanes in the Garden
When I saw a small monarch caterpillar wiggling on a milkweed, I was curious where it would lead. Soon, others became curious too, and both adults and children would visit the garden to watch this wonder of nature. We found it exciting to see a tiny caterpillar grow up to become a “tiger-like caterpillar”. And our excitement grew as it turned into a butterfly. I was inspired to write this book to excite and educate everyone about the wonders of nature.
Airplanes in the Garden: Monarch Butterflies Take Flight sees the world through Bonnie's eyes, a young girl who adopts two monarch caterpillars in her family garden, and lets her imagination soar as she follows them through metamorphosis.
The tale of Sergio and Stanley, transforming from caterpillars into colorful butterflies, promises to entertain readers of all ages.
The book includes an informative section with maps of the amazing monarch migration, helpful tips to grow your own butterfly-friendly garden, a lovely song by Rebecca Troon and is made in the United States of America.
I continue to add to my web site so come back often and browse.
