The Monarch Butterfly


Listen Later

Wrapped in a quiet chrysalis, a young monarch named Seraphina bursts into the world with brand-new wings and a love for flying. But when the air begins to change and it’s time for the great journey south, Seraphina worries: What if she gets lost? With instinct, warm rising air, and the help of her fluttering flock, she learns she doesn’t have to fly alone.

Join Carie, Lincoln, and Eliza as they flap, float, and glide into the amazing world of monarch butterflies.
