On a Butterfly's Wing

English

By (author): Astrid Vargas

In our era of global change, we need narratives that offer hope. On a Butterfly’s Wing is just that. A beautifully illustrated, autobiographical story, told by one of the world’s leading conservationists, it describes how the parallel lives of a butterfly and a beloved mother can help us to reflect on the unique privilege of being alive.

En route, we discover the extraordinary metamorphoses of a butterfly’s life, and how these hold lessons for the difficult transformations of our own.

On a Butterfly’s Wing invites us to collaborate in conservation. It shows us how to restore our relationship with the butterflies that mitigate and measure our planet’s health, and invests profits in planting flowers – arranged in butterfly shapes – to affect its own transformation by feeding future generations of pollinators.
