The Last Butterfly

Join the San Antonio Public Library for the premiere reading of an exciting new bilingual children’s book, called by National Young People’s Poet Laureate Naomi Nye “A luminous landmark….a necessary book for all ages, all classrooms, and all our futures”  and by  Dr. Bambi Cardenas “an opportunity to explore…ecology, beauty and empowerment.”  The Last Butterfly/ La Ultima Mariposa is an exceptional combination of stunningly beautiful visuals and a moving poetically-narrated story by two top talents in this city, Artist/writer/educator Regina Moya and San Antonio’s First Poet Laureate Carmen Tafolla will tell this powerful story in English and in Spanish, followed by activities led by the San Antonio Public Library.

The story of a brave young butterfly, a small boy, and a dancing blue planet who build a bond of love and hard work, drawing on the magic of their relationship, The Last Butterfly is a delightful adventure into the migration of monarch butterflies to Central Mexico and the value of protecting those things we love.  For more information, check the SAPL events website after April 23, 2021.
