BELLITA AND PETER. TWO MONARCH BUTTERFLIES

Description

Every year, monarch butterflies get ready to cross North America, from Tamaulipas (Mexico) to Manitoba (Canada), where they stay during the summer and go back to spend the winter. Before leaving for their migratory journey, Peter Maura and Bellita Santeen are chosen as security chief and head of the colony. Both of them, they’ll guide all the other butterflies throughout their path and very dangerous places. Predators, bad weather, strong winds and distance will test their weak lives, but also their friendship, discipline and bravery. Through a surprising simplicity and a pleasant narration, Vicente Castro I Álvaro describes the extraordinary path of this wonderful species, to make his young and adult readers aware of them and biodiversity.
