Butterflies Belong Here is a powerful story of everyday activism
and hope. In this moving story of community conservation, a girl
finds a home in a new place and a way to help other small
travelers. This book is about the real change children can make in
conservation and advocacy-in this case, focusing on beautiful
monarch butterflies. * From Deborah Hopkinson and Meilo So, the
acclaimed team behind Follow the Moon Home * An empowering,
classroom-ready read * The protagonist is a girl whose family has
recently immigrated to the United States. I know what to look for:
large black-and-orange wings with a border of small white specks,
flitting from flower to flower, sipping nectar. But though I looked
hard, I couldn't find even one. I wondered if monarch butterflies
belonged here. I wondered if I did, too. Butterflies Belong Here is
proof that even the smallest of us are capable of amazing
transformations. * Equal parts educational and heartwarming, this
makes a great gift for parents and grandparents, as well as
librarians, science teachers, and educators. * Those interested in
beautiful butterflies and everyday activism will find this lovely
book both motivating and inspiring. * Perfect for children ages 5
to 8 years old * Add it to the shelf with books like Thank You,
Earth: A Love Letter to Our Planet by April Pulley Sayre, The
Honeybee by Kirsten Hall, and Greta and the Giants: Inspired by
Greta Thunberg's Stand to Save the World by Zoe Tucker

A classic, heartwarming tale set to the backdrop of the Chinese
cultural revolution, with the timeless feels of Eva Ibbotson's
Journey to the River Sea. A beautifully written, timeless tale by
bestselling Chinese author Cao Wenxuan, winner of the Hans
Christian Andersen Award. When Sunflower, a young city girl, moves
to the countryside, she grows to love the reed marsh lands - the
endlessly flowing river, the friendly buffalo with their strong
backs and shiny round heads, the sky that stretches on and on in
its vastness. However, the days are long, and the little girl is
lonely. Then she meets Bronze, who, unable to speak, is ostracized
by the other village boys. Soon the pair are inseparable, and when
Bronze's family agree to take Sunflower in, it seems that fate has
brought him the sister he has always longed for. But life in
Damaidi is hard, and Bronze's family can barely afford to feed
themselves. Will the city girl be able to stay in this place where
she has finally found happiness?
Ho is given a golden paintbrush in return for his kindness to an
old man. Magic things begin to happen when Ho starts to paint ...
