| “During school visit programs based on my book A Place for Butterflies, students often asked me about the differences between moths and butterflies. It didn’t take long to realize I needed to write a simple book that explained how kids can tell these two closely-related insects apart. Soon the idea developed into a whole series.
“Whenever I write books about animals, I try to observe them firsthand in their natural environments. Because butterflies are most active on sunny days and moths are usually active after the sun goes down, it’s no exaggeration to say that I worked on these books night and day.” |
