-----------------------AUTHOR BIO------------------------
Joan Z. Calder, author, horticulturist, and garden designer, managed the greenhouse at the University of California, Santa Barbara, where she also nurtured a butterfly garden. A passion for monarch butterflies led her to write this nonfiction children's picture book to educate and excite children about the wonders of nature. Calder travels the U.S. to educate the public about monarch migration and the importance of conserving pollinator habitat. The author, a native of Wisconsin, currently resides in Santa Barbara, California, with her husband John and many caterpillars.
