Summary
:
Jane and Maya are very different. Maya is a quiet girl and a refugee, new to this country, while chatty and outgoing Jane has lived in the same place her whole life. The girls become friends at school, where they learn about endangered species and decide to do their own small part to help by supporting migrating monarch butterflies. Together they plant a milkweed garden to feed and shelter the tiny creatures, then watch in amazement as the monarchs go through their life cycle before leaving on their long journey to Mexico. After all the butterflies have departed Maya finally speaks up about her own long journey to Canada and wishes the monarchs safety in their new home too.
