On the Wings of a Mariposa - Paperback

Based on Barbara Joosse's beloved children book, On the Wings of a Mariposa is a story about one girl's quest to keep her abuelita's memory alive set during the beautiful annual monarch butterfly migration. After her abuelita dies, ten-year-old Pilar uses an old shawl that smells like her grandmother to help her remember their adventures together. One whiff reminds her of the two of them making tortillas or visiting a special forest known as El Círculo Magico where her abuelita would converse with wildlife. But as the shawl's scent fades, so too do Pilar's memories. Once it's gone, will she lose her grandmother forever? This play with music is a true celebration of life and bursts at the seams with warm memories and joy.
