Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Summer Birds: The Butterflies of Maria Merian (Margarita Engle)- Vibrant illustrations and well written text bring to life the story of Maria Merian (Germany 1600's) a young girl, whose study and observation of caterpillars/cocoons and butterflies helped to show the life cycle of this insect at a time when the scientific community believed that butterflies spontaneously generated. Fascinating story to add to a butterfly study.

More information about Maria Merian at wiki.

Yes! Great book, Mary! I kept meaning to post it on Picture Book discoveries, but kept forgetting. We read it this summer. Fascinating!

Posted in the Caterpillar thread, but posting here also for search purposes.

Ten Little Caterpillars

It is classic Ehlert - lovely, colorful collage illustrations. Lots of plant and caterpillar identification through the text. End pages show each of the ten types of caterpillar shown in the text, with an illustration of the butterfly or moth it becomes.
