What could be more beautiful that a monarch butterfly? That was my challenge in illustrating this story about a family that raises butterflies. The story follows a mother’s participation in a school experiment that becomes a family ritual of annually cultivating the near-threatened species. The illustration depicts the mother and her three children as they discover each phase of the remarkable transformation from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly.
