The Butterfly Garden

Author: Michael Torres
Illustrator: Fern Martins
Publisher: Magabala Books

Three copies to give away

The Butterfly Garden is an entertaining introduction to the life cycle of a butterfly – played out by a fat caterpillar, a hungry kookaburra and a supporting cast of beautiful butterflies. Spare and simple, The Butterfly Garden also weaves in the idea of how the kookaburra may have got its laugh. Fern Martin’s illustrations are a mix of strong colour and transulcent beauty. Her stained glass interpretations of the cocoon at its various stages show its ephemeral quality in a joyful and fluid way
