Magical Monarch's Journey von Mary Lundeberg

Magical Monarch's Journey is a story of survival. It tells a true-to-life tale of one monarch, her search for an ancestral home, and the awesome odds she and her offspring must overcome to breed and feed in their special habitats. They summer in the north, travel enormous distances to reach their breeding grounds, and they must avoid harm or death from storms, fires, countless predators, and the often thoughtless acts of humans during their perilous journey. Yet that is only half the story. Magical Monarch's Journey can be enjoyed by young children and adults alike, who will learn how they can help keep the journey of these beautiful creatures alive for generations to come.
