Editorial Reviews
"This would be a wonderful read-aloud for the elementary school classroom. The author has created a story that invites discussion."
— Tucson Unified School District
"Young readers will relate to the classroom dynamics and schoolyard scenes. The information about the butterfly life cycle and development adds another layer to the story. Though Chance is a tough kid, he is likable and readers will want him to succeed. There is an opportunity to gain an understanding for children in foster care...Recommended for school and public libraries for independent reading."
