"This wonderful book that you are about to start reading will tell you the story of a brave monarch butterfly named Madalynn and her quest through North America to the pristine mountains of Michoacan."

"Este maravilloso libro que estas a punto de leer, cuenta la historia de una valiente mariposa monarca llamada Madalynn y su aventura a través de Norte América hasta las preciosas montañas de Michoacán."

— Guillermo Castilleja,Vice-president for Latin America & the Caribbean, World Wildlife Fund

"Deftly written by Mary Baca Haque, Madalynn The Monarch Butterfly And Her Quest To Michoacan is a bilingual storybook (Francisco Lancaster-Jones ably translates the English text into Spanish) for children ready to make the transition from picturebooks to more involved tales. Tracing the flight of a monarch butterfly and the fascinating array of wild creatures she meets during her long migration, Madalynn The Monarch Butterfly And Her Quest To Michoacan is an engaging read warmly illustrated with black-and-white drawings by Emily du Houx." —Midwest Book Review

"After reading the book to a curious audience of about 32 at a Borders cafe store, I found the kids were so thrilled and wanted to take a field trip to the nature science center to see what monarchs look like in real life—'right away' they said, 'we want to congratulate them for being so brave and catch them before they go back down south to Mexico. I wish all schools in the U.S. had this wonderful book available in their libraries or via mainstream bookstores like Barnes & Noble and Borders. The book was entertaining as well as educational." —Carlos Solis, La Hispana Newspaper
