Book of the Month

Hi Readers,

Have you ever seen a butterfly fluttering by during the summer? If you love these cool creatures as much as I do, you might like this book by Dianna Hutts Aston called A Butterfly is Patient. It’s all about how caterpillars become butterflies and what they do once they sprout wings and get to fly through the air.

Happy reading!

Happy reading!
