From the author of Magic: Once Upon a Faraway Land comes a story of
imagination and the determination of a child to bring back the
butterflies--even if she has to make them herself
Can you imagine a time when the land and the sky belonged to the
mariposas? I can . . .
A young girl dreams of the land's historic mariposas amarillas and is
determined to re-create their glory, even if her butterflies are made of
paper. But when nature thwarts her plans, life, magic, and yes, even the
rain, bring something more beautiful than she ever could have crafted.
Based on the author's own memories of a hurricane that diverted the
migration of thousands of butterflies through her hometown near
Veracruz, Mexico, this beautiful story captures the essence of
imagination and the beauty of the unexpected.
