Hurry and the Monarch

Hurry the tortoise has seen seasons come and go, so when the days get colder he settles down to sleep, sure that warm days will come again. "Maybe one day you’ll break out of that shell, grow wings, and fly away," says a passing monarch butterfly. "It happened to me." Before the butterfly zips away, Hurry learns of its long migration ahead. Then, in the coming year, Hurry meets a caterpillar in just as big a rush. "Here we go again," he says. Full-color watercolors. Afterword.
