Marigold's Wings

Each year, monarch butterflies embark on a fantastic journey across North America to a special place in Mexico's Oyamel Forest. This annual migration has fascinated scientists, butterfly-lovers and storytellers alike for years. So far, no one has been able to discover the reason for the monarch's tremendous flight. Vlasta van Kampen has always been fascinated by the flight of the monarch. This beautiful children's story illustrates the glory of the monarch butterfly and the strength and fortitude of its journey. Vlasta van Kampen is an internationally acclaimed illustrator. Her first picture book, ABC/123: The Canadian Alphabet and Counting Book, won the Governor General's award for illustration, and her bestselling Orchestranimals has sold over 100,000 copies. She has also illustrated Beetle Bedlam and The Last Straw, both for Key Porter.
