Butterfly Grandma Mary Ann Falter

Butterfly Grandma: Monarchs! narrates a delightful, whimsical conversation in rhyming verse, between Grandma and grandchild in a quest to attract monarch butterflies to their yard!

The story includes the Monarch butterfly lifecycle and the names and pictures of nectar and host plants. The author's grandchildren contributed most of the illustrations in this children's book, including the cover.

The new second edition uses this summer's photographs taken by the author in her own butterfly garden. The life cycle and migration of the monarchs is explained. A list of seasonal shrubs and plants to attract butterflies is on the last page.

This book is a 2019 winner in the 'Story Monster Approved' contest in the category of Green Living/Environmental Issues. It is a funny, informative, educational story that will leave the readers wanting to get busy planting their very own monarch butterfly garden!
