Butterflies Belong Here is a powerful story of everyday activism and hope.



In this moving story of community conservation, a girl finds a home in a new place and a way to help other small travelers.



This book is about the real change children can make in conservation and advocacy—in this case, focusing on beautiful monarch butterflies.



• From Deborah Hopkinson and Meilo So, the acclaimed team behind Follow the Moon Home

• An empowering, classroom-ready read

• The protagonist is a girl whose family has recently immigrated to the United States.



I
know what to look for: large black-and-orange wings with a border of
small white specks, flitting from flower to flower, sipping nectar. But
though I looked hard, I couldn't find even one. I wondered if monarch
butterflies belonged here. I wondered if I did, too.



Butterflies Belong Here
is proof that even the smallest of us are capable of amazing transformations.




Equal parts educational and heartwarming, this makes a great gift for
parents and grandparents, as well as librarians, science teachers, and
educators.

• Those interested in beautiful butterflies and everyday activism will find this lovely book both motivating and inspiring.

• Perfect for children ages 5 to 8 years old
