Overview

When the pandemic began in 2020, life changed a lot. We wore masks, we rarely gathered, and only in small safe groups. We kept our distance to keep each other safe. Glimmers of hope can arrive at unexpected times, though. This is a story about one of those glimmers that grew into a whole story of hope, in the form of a tiny caterpillar who came to teach us that full-of-life things can, and do, burst forth even during life's most difficult times. ""This tender true story reminds us that transformation and change are natural parts of life, and that the care of a loving, observant, flexible community helps us to be present in the moment joyfully, despite uncertainties. Fare thee well, Fred. You are a great teacher."" Elise Huneke-Stone, Educateurs sans Frontieres ""Both children and adults can share Fred's triumphant journey from caterpillar to monarch butterfly, a testament to the power of transformation, accompanied by luminous photographs that bring this true story to vivid life."" Cait Johnson, co-author of Celebrating the Great Mother: a Handbook of Earth-Honoring Activities for Parents and Children ""If you've been short on wonder, curiosity, hope, and anticipation then Fred the Monarch just might be the tiny miracle that returns you to the tingling sensation of the present moment-an unfolding miracle of change and growth happening always and in all ways."" Peter Piché, Montessori Leadership Coach ""Delila Olsson lovingly tended both the real life Fred and the creation of this book, which educates, inspires, and brings to life the magic journey and alchemy of Butterfly."" Rebecca Singer, Shamanic Healer and Teacher ""Guiding elementary children includes honoring and recognizing the interconnected work of our natural world. This story is a beautiful representation of the ongoing journey that passing time provides to each of us!"" Kelly Hale, Montessori Elementary Guide
