Written by Susan Katz Cooper, Illustrated by Joshua S. Brunet
This non-fiction book about the monarch butterfly’s migration feels like a storybook. The artwork illustrates the monarch’s journey. You can tell the monarch is the focus of the book as it stands out against the other artwork in the pictures. The description of the monarch’s journey is interesting and informative. It gives just enough information to prompt questions that it answers as it progresses.
