I’m thrilled to have my book celebrated among these fall releases. It’s great timing because monarch butterflies are leaving Point Pelée at this time of year to start their migration. The book is about all types of butterflies and the flowers that sustain them. It’s narrative NF. Pub date Dec 15!
Cozy up with a warm drink and enjoy this stack of new books by members of @picturebookseh.bsky.social!
