The Monarch Butterfly - New Migrant - The Kiwi Kids' Bookstore

This big, beautiful butterfly has won people’s hearts the world over.

The way a single specimen teeters on the merest of leaf-ends to place its egg, how the hatchling caterpillar doggedly demolishes its host-plant, how later it quivers and folds itself up inside a glittering jewel-casing that appears by magic before our very eyes.

And then the emergence of a completely transformed winged creature. A creature of stunning saturated hues, a creature that floats and lurches mid-air. causing us to hold our breath, hold the moment.

The Monarch Butterfly is written by award-winning Annemarie Florian and illustrated by one of New Zealand’s leading illustrators, Alistair Hughes.
