To really appreciate the beauty and majesty of the planet that we call Mother Earth, we just have to slow down to look at the wonderful creatures that call Mother Earth their home. And if we truly study the intricacy of a single creature such as the butterfly, we can't help but be amazed and appreciate the miracle of their creation.
Butterflies come in many different sizes and in many brilliant colors. Some live longer than others and some migrate long distances while others can stay in place over the cooler months. But they all have one thing in common. They have four distinct life periods. A butterfly begins as a tiny egg laid on a leaf; then it emerges as a caterpillar and builds a chrysalis or pupa around itself; they hibernate there while completing the amazing metamorphosis into the beautiful and delicate adult butterfly. The life cycle of a butterfly is one of the more amazing processes in nature. In the activity pages of A Birthday Party for Mother Earth, I illustrate the four distinct phases in the life cycle of a butterfly simplified for little folks to understand. I encourage everyone to find a way to bring their children closer to nature to appreciate what we have on our Mother Earth and to realize the care we must take of our mutual home.
