Mrs. Carter’s Butterfly Garden

Young naturalists will gain both information and inspiration from this book about a very special butterfly garden. Mrs. Carter's Butterfly Garden is the story of how former First Lady Rosalynn Carter created a sunny spot in her yard to attract monarch butterflies and help prevent habitat loss. Author Steve Rich worked with Mrs. Carter to create a butterfly-friendly trail through her hometown of Plains, Georgia. Children can learn from Mrs. Carter's example why it's good for people when butterflies have welcoming spaces to flutter by - and how they, as young butterfly enthusiasts, can create a butterfly garden on their own at home or school. Published by NSTA Kids, Mrs. Carter's Butterfly Garden includes helpful resources for teachers and parents who want to introduce children to beautiful butterflies. -- from back cover.
