A Flicker of Hope: A Story of Migration
Cynthia Harmony, illustrated by Devon Holzwarth
Lucía watches monarch butterflies migrate from her home in Mexico with her Papá. When he travels north to find work harvesting produce on distant farms, he promises to return when the weather turns cold and the monarchs come back. During the summer, Lucía searches the sky for signs of the butterflies and for her father’s return. The story links the monarchs’ seasonal movement with a family’s separation, homecoming, and work that follows the seasons.
