Welcome to Litsy!

“A butterfly is patient, it waits for the right moment to unfold its wings.”

This book is perfect for teaching about metamorphosis and the importance of insects in nature. Students can use the book to create their own diagrams or life-cycle charts of other animals. It can also inspire a hands-on project, like raising caterpillars and observing their transformation.

This beautifully illustrated book teaches children about the life cycle of a butterfly, from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly, while also exploring the different species of butterflies around the world.

“ a butterfly is not a moth”
I am glad that they highlighted on this topic, because although they are very similar, they are different. I think this goes along with people as well although we are similar. We are all different.

And I thought each page has like a little title that describes kind of what is happening, starting with the title of the book. It is simple yet effective element within a story. I like how this is more of a drawing story, but it is non-fiction.

This is a book about the slow, yet beautiful transformation and the life of a butterfly. A perfect addition to your classroom when learning about life cycles and butterfly lifecycle as well.

This book not only teaches children about the life cycle of a butterfly and what happens during its life but also what it means to be patient. The illustrations are really cool in the book and I think children would appreciate it.

This book is a great read! It could be used to educate readers on butterflies and keeps them engaged with the detailed illistrations

This book is a great example of non fiction focusing on illustration with labeling to support information

“The egg hatches, the caterpillar emerges, feasting on leaves before it wraps itself into its warm, protective chrysalis patiently waiting to soar!“

Beautiful script and details used throughout the entire book alongside amazing facts!

Published in 2011, this children's nonfiction book is packed with information all about butterflies! Anywhere from the migration and how butterflies start as caterpillars to the difference between moths and butterflies. Really great read- and super easy for those in the early elementary age range. Amazing colors and illustrations as well!

A Butterfly is Patient by Dianna Aston is a creative and informative nonfiction book that is great for younger grades! This book contains the perfect mix of science and entertainment, while explaining the life of a butterfly using bright and colorful pictures. #UCFWaltersLit
