I wrote this book to encourage readers to plant their own butterfly gardens, and make their own observations. It isn’t hard, especially if you start small and then expand. Designer Little Shiva has made the book a beautiful testament to this aspect of the natural world. I hope you enjoy it. There’s also a Spanish version, aptly translated by Mare Keziah.

The book is available at Park Road Books, at various Mecklenburg County nature centers, and from Amazon.

It can also be read online for free. Click here for the English version and here for the Spanish version.
