Butterfly Island and the Invincible Crew — Tracy Dockray

Inspired by a true story, Ellen is a helping hand on her father's fishing boat, but on the island, she boldly leads a mission to protect their declining Monarch butterfly population. When Ellen and her friends sow a simple milkweed seed, it sets off a remarkable series of events until nature delivers a mighty blow. Can Ellen, through the power of friendship, begin anew?Through education and community engagement, children learn about Monarch butterfly conservation and recovery efforts following environmental storm losses, replacing despair with hope in action.
