Winged Wonders: Solving the Monarch Migration Mystery

This picture book is all about the people who tried to crack the mystery of monarch butterfly migration. Gardeners, scientists, and butterfly lovers were stumped as to where monarchs went in the winter. Why did they migrate?

Canadian scientist Fred is a prominent character in the book. He spent 30 years studying the mystery of the monarch. He drove all over the US with his research partner and wife, Norah. After placing an ad in the newspaper, Fred and Norah got help from a Spanish-speaking man named Ken. He traveled to Mexico and discovered the keys to unlocking the butterfly mystery.

If you want to learn more about this fascinating quest for knowledge, you’ll need to read Winged Wonders: Solving the Monarch Migration Mystery. The illustrations in this hardcover volume really tie the book together with a specific feel and color palette.

I recommend this story to nature lovers of all ages and anyone who has ever wanted to know how to help the butterfly population.
