Becoming Butterflies by Anne Rockwell
Illustrated by Megan Halsey
Let the scientist in every child take wing!
One day Miss Dana brings a surprise to school—three striped
caterpillars and a flowerpot full of milkweed. Her students can’t
believe that these tiny, wriggling creatures less than an inch long will
grow into butterflies, fragile beauties strong enough to fly thousands
of miles to their winter home in Mexico.
And so begins a magical month of metamorphosis. The children observe
and draw the changes they see as the caterpillars transform themselves
right before their eyes. When the newly formed butterflies break free of
their chrysalises, it is time for the class
to let them go find their place in the world.
This captivating concept book simply and eloquently invites young
children to witness and celebrate the cycle of life.
