Science, nature, and adventure come together in this riveting
account of a solo bike trip along the migratory path of the monarch
butterfly. Sara Dykman made history when she became the first
person to bicycle alongside monarch butterflies on their storied
annual migration--a round-trip adventure that included three
countries and more than 10,000 miles. Equally remarkable, she did
it solo, on a bike cobbled together from used parts. In Bicycling
with Butterflies--praised as "poetic" (Publishers Weekly) and
called "a collective cry for climate action" (Booklist)--Dykman
recounts her incredible journey. We're beside her as she navigates
unmapped roads in foreign countries, checks roadside milkweed for
monarch eggs, and shares her passion with eager schoolchildren,
skeptical bar patrons, and unimpressed border officials. We also
meet some of the ardent monarch stewards who supported her efforts,
from citizen scientists and researchers to farmers and high-rise
city dwellers. With both humor and humility, Dykman offers a
compelling story, confirming the urgency of saving the threatened
monarch migration--and the other threatened systems of nature that
affect the survival of us all.
