BotM: A Butterfly is Patient
Inspired by the beautiful flowers and animals crafted in our new space, our March book of the month is A Butterfly is Patient by Dianna Hutts Aston and illustrated Sylvia Long. A Butterfly Is Patient is a beautifully illustrated book that takes children on a quiet, wonder‑filled journey into the world of butterflies. Each page shows how butterflies grow, change, and move through their lives—from tiny eggs to wiggly caterpillars to colorful, fluttering adults. Our museum is transitioning and growing, reflecting what is happening in the nature around us.
