Roots & Wings: A Day with Tracy Dockray and "Butterfly Island and the Invincible Crew"

Join author-illustrator Tracy Dockray for a magical reading of her picture book ""Butterfly Island and the Invincible Crew""! Dive into the extraordinary journey of monarch butterflies-tiny travelers with epic migrations-and discover how it all begins with one humble seed: milkweed. Tracy will share the monarch life cycle, lead kids in a bilingual sing-along, and draw live characters from the book! She'll also talk with children about how nature bounces back after big storms- just like the characters do. An impactful event for young eco-heroes and their families! Attendees will be inspired by the true story of Ellen who boldly leads a mission to protect the declining monarch butterfly population. When Ellen and her friends sow a simple milkweed seed, it sets off a remarkable series of events until nature delivers a might blow. Can Ellen, through the power of friendship begin anew? And replace despair with hope in action. There will be singing and butterfly craft kits. Presented as a part of the City of Austin's Roots & Wings Festival. https://rootsandwingsfest.com/
