Watch it Grow has hatched and I couldn’t be happier. The book explores the lifecycles of four living things: a monarch butterfly, a sunflower, a green frog and a white oak tree. I love making pictures of nature and all of these subjects have a special place in my heart, especially the monarch butterfly. Our family spent many summers raising monarchs; finding milkweed leaves to feed the growing caterpillars, watching and waiting for the magical transformation to chrysalis and finally a beautiful butterfly. What’s growing in your neighbourhood?
