Interesting
facts for each butterfly are provided but the author only gives enough material to acquaint and to teach but not so much that the amount of
information might overwhelm a child. The illustrations alone may hold a
child's attention for many long minutes as they take in the gorgeous
detail captured in each picture.
For your classroom library or home library, A Butterfly Is Patient is book that as a teacher or parent-teacher, you may consider adding to your shelf.

*Note*:
The page that teaches about the Monarch butterfly requires one
alteration when reading it aloud. You will have to replace the word
'magical' with an Islaamically appropriate word such as: awe-inspiring,
stunning, breathtaking, etc.
