About this Event
BUTTERFLIES STRONG AND FREE
Bursting with vibrant illustrations, each page of this book showcases a remarkable butterfly found right here in Canada. Paired with lively, age-appropriate language, it keeps children—and their grown-ups—engaged from start to finish.
Butterflies Strong and Free invites young readers on a cross-Canada adventure to meet the fluttering friends that share our provinces and territories. From the Silvery Blue to the Green Comma, children can explore a variety of species, spot recurring shapes and patterns in the art, and begin to recognize different regions of the country.
The final pages offer extra butterfly facts for adults to share, along with simple ways families can help support Canada’s butterfly population.
With its playful artwork, clear text, and interactive cues, Butterflies Strong and Free brings a fresh, joyful approach to learning about nature—and inspires a lasting sense of wonder.
Join the author Bethany Friend and illustrator Megan Lewis for a reading of this new children's book from Ontario indie press Brown paper Fox. All little readers must be accompanied by a big kid (their parent or guardian).
