"The marriage of art and science is seamless. . . . This isn’t just a beautiful nature study, but an achievable invitation to participate in both art and conservation. A stunning exploration of butterfly cycles, care, and collective action—exceptional in both form and purpose." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)"[An] awe-inspiring scientific tribute to butterflies. . . . It’s a truly unforgettable look at how butterfly life cycles spiral outward." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)"Stunningly illustrated. For would-be scientists, environmentalists, and artists, this is a must for most collections." — School Library Journal (starred review)"The dual presentation—simple poetic text on one page, followed by a spread of more detailed info—gives this broad usage in storytimes or solo research, and the interplay between the art and text makes for a few amusing games of seek-and-find as young readers can identify different species of butterflies mentioned in the narrative. This is a must for the classroom or home garden project." — Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
