<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Magical Monarch's Journey is an amazing story of the survival of one monarch, her dangerous journey to her wintering home, and the challenges her offspring face in returning north.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Magical Monarch's Journey</b> is a story of survival. It tells a</p><p>true-to-life tale of one monarch, her search for an ancestral home, </p><p>and the awesome odds she and her offspring must overcome to</p><p>breed and feed in their special habitats. They summer in the north, </p><p>travel enormous distances to reach their breeding grounds, and they</p><p>must avoid harm or death from storms, fires, countless predators, and the</p><p>often thoughtless acts of humans during their perilous journey. Yet</p><p>that is only half the story. Magical Monarch's Journey</b> can be enjoyed by young children and</p><p>adults alike, who will learn how they can help keep the journey of these</p><p>beautiful creatures alive for generations to come.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>Magical Monarch's Journey</em> fills a huge gap in the life cycle literature. I believe children need to be exposed to and inspired by the wonders of our planet so that ultimately they will want to be caregivers. There is no better way to inspire young learners than telling a rich story. In this case, Mary has presented a true journey tale with such photographic and prose detail that readers and listeners can imagine the long monarch's journey in which she copes with varied weather conditions and meets a deer, geese, hummingbirds and even a bear! The children, with whom I have shared this book, wanted to revisit the beautiful detailed photos again and again. In contrast to other life cycle books, in<em> Magical Monarch's Journey, </em>we experience more than an identification of the life phases of the insect. We hear a true tale of the interdependence of these creatures with other life forms on our planet. Although the challenges to the monarch butterfly are identified making this also suitable for older readers, there is a message of hope through the perspective of Mary's granddaughter who has a plan of planting milkweed for the magical creatures. I recommend this as an engaging journey tale and science teaching resource for elementary and middle school children, as well as a resource for teacher educators.</p><p> </p><p>Gay Ward, Ph.D. Professor Emerita of Teacher Education</p><br>
