About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is starting to ask big questions about the environment or when you want to celebrate the beauty of intersecting cultures. It is a perfect fit for kids who feel a sense of justice for their local community or who are navigating the excitement and nerves of a first crush. The story follows a trio of inventive friends: an impala, an octopus, and a mosquito: who use their mechanical skills and a custom lowrider to save migrating monarch butterflies from a wildfire. While tackling serious topics like climate change and corporate greed, the tone remains high energy and hopeful. It is an excellent choice for reluctant readers who thrive on visual storytelling and bilingual puns. Parents will appreciate how it weaves together Latinx and Arab heritage while modeling how a small group of friends can take meaningful action against environmental and social challenges.
