Mariposa's Wish, written by Nancy Littlefield and illustrated by me is a wonderful book about the life cycle of the monarch butterfly.
"The transformation of a tiny caterpillar into a vibrant butterfly is one of nature's most amazing events. Mariposa's story is an engaging tale of yearning and destiny. The text and illustrations accurately present the phases of a monarch butterfly's development. The seasonal cycle of milkweed, crucial monarch caterpillar food, is subtly woven into the artwork. By story's end, readers and listeners will celebrate Mariposa's success as well as understand her life cycle."
The book is available for purchase on Amazon or Barnes and Noble and makes a great gift for monarch butterfly lovers (nature lovers or lovers of stories of transition and metamorphosis) of any age.
Reading and illustrating Nancy's story has taught me about the amazing life cycle, transformation and metamorphosis of the monarch butterfly. But more than just education, I was surprised to find an emotional connection to the monarchs that developed for me after understanding their life cycle. I realized this amazing metamorphosis was happening in my own yard in Colorado once I took the time to look more closely at the milkweed plants in our area. I'm thrilled to find that we have milkweed plants at our new home on Kauai, supporting the life cycle of monarchs here too.
May this book facilitate a deeper connection to the wonder of the natural world for you or anyone you choose to gift it too.
