Butterflies are brilliant pollinators and add vibrancy and colour to the garden. A summer's day wouldn't be the same without the gentle fluttering of delicate wings. They connect us with living and breathing nature and are an essential part of a dynamic ecosystem. However, in the past forty years, these insects, which were once a common sight in our gardens, are now in decline thanks to habit loss, climate change and the use of pesticides. But do not despair – there is a lot you can do to help improve their numbers!

No matter how small or large your space – from a window ledge in the city to a country garden – Jane Moore offers advice on the nectar-rich blooms to grow, and when and where to plant them. This charmingly illustrated, practical guide will set your garden a flutter.

Flitter, Flutter Butterfly—written by Sandra Rye Baggett—is an illustrated children’s book that includes material suitable for children of all ages. The inspiration for Sandra’s book came from her five-year-old granddaughter who asked her to write a butterfly song. Sandra sang the song with her grandchildren for years and used it as part of a unit for her kindergarten classes. The book provides an integrated learning experience for children, inspiring inquiry through the study of nature. Activities are included to help parents and teachers adapt to the child’s learning style. Some of the experiences provided include —questions to practice observation skills, —the life cycle of the butterfly, —journal pages allowing the child to chart butterflies/moths seen in the wild, —music to accompany the butterfly song, and —art activities. Nancy Vinson Nave, retired art teacher, beautifully illustrates the book. Sandra and Nancy were childhood classmates, and they taught in the same school system. It is their hope that parents and teachers will enjoy sharing this book with young children as much as they have enjoyed creating it.
