Mona’s Mission
The Story of Monarch Migration
by
Ellen Dalzell
Mona is a brave monarch butterfly with an important job! She is the third generation in the “relay race” of monarch migration as these amazing insects make their way to Mexico. Mona’s Mission is the beautiful, educational story of her life as she journeys to Missouri to give birth to the “super generation” of monarchs that will complete the migration. Along the way, she’ll encounter helpful flowers like milkweed and other monarch butterfly friends, but also predators and storms! Mona’s Mission is a wonderful book for kids to read on their own or for adults and children to enjoy together. They will learn all about monarch butterflies—their lives, their favorite foods, and how we can help them—as they are enthralled by the adventures of the courageous Mona.
