Colorful endpapers, showing the butterflies as caterpillars and chrysalides, complete this beautiful book for budding young naturalists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes an introduction, world map, fully illustrated spreads showing a butterfly’s life cycle and body parts, as well as a glossary, index and suggestions for further reading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Text Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003escientific illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eintroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003efurther information\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eforeword\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eauthor's note\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003efacts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003escientific nomenclature\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003escientific illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003emap\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eadditional information\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ecaptions\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eglossary\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eindex\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003elabels\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.K.1\u003cbr\u003e\nWith prompting and support, ask and answer questions about key details in a text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.K.4\u003cbr\u003e\nWith prompting and support, ask and answer questions about unknown words in a text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.K.7\u003cbr\u003e\nWith prompting and support, describe the relationship between illustrations and the text in which they appear (e.g., what person, place, thing, or idea in the text an illustration depicts).\u003c\/p\u003e","EAN":"9781773063355","Height":"12.25","HeightCode":"in","Imprint":"Groundwood Books","KeyTextFeatures":"scientific illustrations;introduction;further information;foreword;author's note;facts;scientific nomenclature;scientific illustrations;map;additional information;captions;glossary;index","MetaKeywords":"mixed-media artwork","NumberOfPages":"48","OtherText_Back_cover_copy_0":"\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThis is a companion book to \u003cem\u003eMy Book of Birds\u003c\/em\u003e (2016), which has sold 5,000 copies in North America.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe book is an inviting introduction to butterflies, with minimal text and large collage illustrations. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth the text and illustrations are vetted for accuracy by an expert at the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory in Ontario.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeraldo Valério is internationally acclaimed and his previous picture books have garnered a total of ten starred reviews. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","OtherText_Long_description_1":"\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThis is a companion book to \u003cem\u003eMy Book of Birds\u003c\/em\u003e (2016), which has sold 5,000 copies in North America.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe book is an inviting introduction to butterflies, with minimal text and large collage illustrations. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoth the text and illustrations are vetted for accuracy by an expert at the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory in Ontario.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeraldo Valério is internationally acclaimed and his previous picture books have garnered a total of ten starred reviews. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","OtherText_Review_0":"\u003cp\u003eBeautifully illustrated and informative.

Then Mayya lost herself to love: a silent passion, but it sent tremors surging through her slight form, night after night, cresting in waves of tears and sighs. These were moments when she truly believed she would not survive the awful force of her longing to see him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer body prostrate, ready for the dawn prayers, she made a whispered oath. By the greatness of God — I want nothing, O Lord, just to see him. I solemnly promise you, Lord, I don’t even want him to look my way … I just want to see him. That’s all I want.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer mother hadn’t given the matter of love any particular thought, since it never would have occurred to her that pale Mayya, so silent and still, would think about anything in this mundane world beyond her threads and the selvages of her fabrics, or that she would hear anything other than the clatter of her sewing machine. Mayya seemed to hardly shift position throughout the day, or even halfway into the night, her form perched quietly on the narrow, straight-backed wood chair in front of the black sewing machine with the image of a butterfly on its side. She barely even lifted her head, unless she needed to look as she groped for her scissors or fished another spool of thread out of the plastic sewing basket which always sat in her small wood utility chest. But Mayya heard everything in the world there was to hear. She noticed the brilliant hues life could have, however motionless her body might be. Her mother was grateful that Mayya’s appetite was so meagre (even if, now and then, she felt vestiges of guilt). She hoped fervently, though she would never have put her hope into words, that one of these days someone would come along who respected Mayya’s talents as a seamstress as much as he might appreciate her abstemious ways. The someone she envisioned would give Mayya a fine wedding procession after which he would take her home with all due ceremony and regard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat someone arrived.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs usual Mayya was seated on that narrow chair, bent over the sewing machine at the far end of the long sitting room that opened onto the compound’s private courtyard. Her mother walked over to her, beaming. She pressed her hand gently into her daughter’s shoulder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMayya, my dear! The son of Merchant Sulayman has asked for your hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpasms shot through Mayya’s body. Her mother’s hand suddenly felt unbearably heavy on her shoulder and her throat went dry. She couldn’t stop imagining her sewing thread winding itself around her neck like a hangman’s noose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer mother smiled. I thought you were too old by now to put on such a girlish show! You needn’t act so bashful, Mayya.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd that was that. The subject was closed and no one raised it again. Mayya’s mother busied herself assembling the wedding clothes, concocting just the right blends of incense, having all the large seat-cushions reupholstered, and getting word out to the entire family. Mayya’s sisters kept their views to themselves and her father left the matter in her mother’s hands. After all, these were her girls and marriage was women’s business.\u003c\/p\u003e","OtherText_Review_0":"An innovative reimagining of the family saga . . .

The ability to move freely through time, the privileged access to the wounded privacies of many characters, the striking diversity of human beings across a relatively narrow canvas, the shock waves as one generation heaves, like tectonic plates, against another, the secrets and lapses and repressions, at once intimate and historical, the power, indeed, of an investigation that is always political and always intimate — here is the novel being supremely itself, proving itself up to the job by changing not its terms of employment but the shape of the task.","OtherText_Review_1_Src":"New Yorker","OtherText_Review_2":"A rich, dense web of a novel . . .

Interweaving voices and timelines are beautifully served by the pacing of the novel. Its delicate artistry draws us into a richly imagined community — opening out to tackle profound questions of time and mortality and disturbing aspects of our shared history. The style is a metaphor for the subject, subtly resisting clichés of race, slavery, and gender. The translation is precise and lyrical, weaving in the cadences of both poetry and everyday speech. Celestial Bodies evokes the forces that constrain us and those that set us free.","OtherText_Review_6_Auth":"Bettany Hughes","OtherText_Review_6_Src":"Man Booker International Prize","OtherText_Review_7":"The novel is a beautifully achieved account of lives pulling at the edges of change.
