Airplanes in the Garden is an award-winning book that educates and entertains.

An imaginative young girl learns about the wonders of nature and the secrets of metamorphosis as she observes two special caterpillars--from the moment she discovers their eggs on the milkweed leaves until their emergence as beautiful monarch butterflies.

Edited by butterfly experts Dr. Robert Michael Pyle and Dr. Karen Oberhauser, this Common Core-related book enables children to learn about the life cycle of a butterfly while they read the story. Included are several teaching aids; monarch migration maps, word games, a butterfly song and tips on growing a butterfly friendly garden. Ages 4 - 10

-----------------------AUTHOR BIO------------------------
Joan Z. Calder, author, horticulturist, and garden designer, managed the greenhouse at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she also nurtured a butterfly garden. A passion for monarch butterflies led her to write this nonfiction children's picture book to educate and excite children about the wonders of nature. Calder travels the U.S. to educate the public about monarch migration and the importance of conserving pollinator habitat. The author, a native of Wisconsin, currently resides in Santa Barbara, California, with her husband John and many caterpillars.
