Storybook Saturday! 📚

You know what time it is: time for your weekly picture book recommendation from your local library! Today, we are suggesting The Monarch by Kirsten Hall and Isabelle Arsenault as your next family read! 🦋🌸

This heartwarming book, filled with soft and colorful illustrations, is perfect for a bright August day. Starting as a caterpillar and blooming into a majestic butterfly, it follows her life cycle as she flutters "in the garden, through the trees" and beyond! Readers will accompany the monarch through each stage of her transformation, delighting in her eventual journey south and observing the natural beauty and wonder of these incredible creatures along the way!

Written in rhyme and brimming with fascinating facts, this book will educate readers on the metamorphisis and migration of monarch butterflies in story form!

Check out The Monarch from our physical collection, or browse our many options on butterflies and insects today!
