A bilingual adventure across America!

Take flight and discover just how big Señorita Mariposa’s mundo maravilloso is as we follow the monarch butterfly's journey from Canada to Mexico on this beautiful English and Spanish adventure across the continent. Each year the butterfly takes an epic adventure ‘over mountains capped with snow, to the deserts down below’ to settle in the forests of their ancestors, but it’s the people they meet on their way that make this journey so special. ¡A volar!
