The latest updated edition of this fact-filled, colorful look at the amazing world of butterflies, which includes two brand new illustrations and a call to action to protect these creatures and their habitats.

In simple yet informative language, A Place for Butterflies introduces young readers to the basic facts about butterflies, including how they transform from caterpillars to butterflies, where they live, what they eat, and how they benefit plants and animals. Sidebars throughout the book contain information about how human action has harmed butterflies in the past, and the many ways people can protect certain butterfly populations, like by preserving forests and meadows and cutting down on pesticide use. Also included are pointers on how readers can help butterflies in their own neighborhood.
Melissa Stewart earned degrees from Union College and New York University and worked as an editor. She is the author of more than 150 books. The idea for the Place for… books came to her while she was writing an article for a magazine. She wanted young readers to understand how their choices and actions can have a direct impact on the creatures that share our world.

Higgins Bond received a B.F.A from the Memphis College of Art. Her work has been exhibited at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis, and many other venues. She has produced illustrations for NBC television, The Nature Conservancy, and the Smithsonian Institution, as well as for many advertising firms.
