About the book:

Every year, like clockwork, a young boy named Hudson visits the same hidden, special spot to find monarch butterfly caterpillars. He takes to heart the message, "If you remove something from nature or its natural habitat, you must learn how to take care of it." With a little help from BeBe the horse, follow along as Hudson explores the monarch nursery and discovers the remarkable, wondrous circle of life.

Learn how to safely collect monarch eggs and caterpillars with Hudson's help. This young boy's excitement and love of the monarchs is contagious, inspiring the reader to help our small, winged friends repopulate and thrive.

About the author:

Laurie Sharp is the author of "Hudson’s Monarch Nursery" and "The Day Sweetie Pie Died." She has been a Pre-K teacher for more than three decades. Nature and its wondrous cycle of life inspire her writing and outdoor teaching to all ages. Laurie splits her time between her ranchette in Central Texas and her family’s lake house in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. When not writing, she can be found caring for and being inspired by her pets, farm animals, wildlife, and multiple gardens. You can learn more about Laurie at her website: lmsharpbooks.com.

By purchasing a book from BookPeople, you are not only supporting a local, independent business – you’re showing publishers that they should continue sending authors to BookPeople.
