Praise for Señorita Mariposa (Bilingual English-Spanish Edition)

Praise for Señorita Mariposa:
"A bilingual love poem of admiration and respect for the millions of monarch butterflies that journey south to Mexico every year. . . . Like the butterfly traveling south and north, the languages switch prominence, displaying in the larger font the principal--and rhyming--language in each spread. . . . Uplifting and inspiring of further research."--Kirkus Reviews

"The verses are loosely structured as moving along with the butterflies, where the bold curvilinear black font of the text calls to mind the movement of the butterfly. . . . The text is set to simple verses where the rhyming structure provides a sense of unity and an auditory element that will engage preschoolers during storytime . . . A playful picture book . . . that could be used to foster consciousness about protecting the planet and to explain migration and the role of butterflies in pollination."--School Library Journal
