Eight-year-old Isabel, who lives in a small impoverished village in the mountains of Michoacan, Mexico, tells the story of the annual monarch butterfly migration to the magnificent oyamel tree beside her casita. When the butterflies arrive, they are everywhere, and bring joy and tourists with their much-needed money. Isabel's mother calls them "un milagro"--a miracle. But the butterflies and the trees where they roost are in danger from commercial loggers, and from the villagers who are sometimes forced to sell the trees for firewood. When Isabel overhears her father saying he must chop down their tree (because ". . . we cannot eat butterflies") she comes up with a plan she hopes will save them. Guevara, whose research took her to Mexico, shows butterflies everywhere in richly colored paintings bordered by heavily textured frames. Undeniably didactic, the story highlights the economic and cultural complexities of preserving endangered species, and provides a welcome complement to the many other books on monarch migration.

Synopsis
Outside her home in Michoacan, Mexico, grows eight-year-old Isabel's greatest treasure: an oyamel tree. Here, every autumn, a miracle happens-for Isabel's tree is the wintering place for thousands upon thousands of monarch butterflies that migrate from the north. When they flutter down to roost, they transform Isabel's tree into La casa de las mariposas-The House of Butterflies. But this wonder is in danger of disappearing forever. Isabel's family is poor, and it is a cruel, dry year for Papa's meager crop of corn and beans. Soon, chopping down the tree to sell its wood may be the family's only hope for survival. What will happen to the butterflies then? Tony Johnston's poignant tale, as brief and luminous as the lives of the butterflies themselves, is all the more compelling because of the real-life dilemma it presents. Lush paintings by Susan Guevara radiate with the warmth and tenderness between Isabel and her family, and capture Mexican rural life in all its vibrant color and natural beauty., Outside her home in Michoacan, Mexico, grows eight-year-old Isabel's greatest treasure: an oyamel tree.
