Following in the shadows of her two perfect older sisters, Velma feels easily forgotten in the mix of her first grade class, but when she takes part in a class trip to the butterfly conservatory where a beautiful butterfly lands on her finger and won't let go for days, Velma is certain that she will now be remembered too
Unlike her older sisters, first grader Velma feels like there's nothing special about her. But this all changes after a visit to a butterfly conservatory and a very special monarch butterfly. With bright, lively illustrations, this is a 2007 School Library Journal Best Book.
