There are 20,000 species of butterflies in the world, but only
several dozen are found on the tundra of the North American Arctic.
Many Arctic animals have warm, woolly coats, downy feathers, or
thick layers of blubber, and Arctic butterflies appear fragile with
their fluttering, delicate wings. Yet the hardy butterflies that
live at the top of the world have many clever ways to keep
themselves warm in cool summers and endure icy-cold winters. In A
Children’s Guide to Arctic Butterflies, young readers learn about
twelve of the butterflies that call the Arctic home and how they
survive on the tundra from one season to the next. With a simple
layout and easy-to-follow headings for each butterfly, this
beautiful book is filled with fun, useful facts, including
introductory material about the life cycle and anatomy of
butterflies and how they begin life as caterpillars. Step inside
and journey North—you may even spot a familiar fluttering friend.
While some of the butterflies found in A Children’s Guide to
Arctic Butterflies are among the most northern of butterfly
species, many can also be found south of the Arctic and in high,
cold places around the world!

how to recognize each bird's call on the wind. Because migratory
birds live in the Arctic for part of the year, many of the
