Butterflies Belong Here is a moving story about finding belonging, caring for the natural world, and the power of everyday activism.
After moving to a new place, a young girl searches for monarch butterflies—but can’t find any. As she wonders whether monarchs belong here, she also wonders if she does. Through curiosity, learning, and action, she discovers a way to help monarch butterflies—and in the process, finds her own sense of home and purpose.
Blending environmental education with themes of identity and hope, this story shows how children can make real, meaningful change through conservation and advocacy. It’s a gentle yet powerful reminder that small actions—like planting for pollinators—can create lasting impact.
