Event celebrates 'Journey's Flight'

"Journey's Flight," a book about the record-setting migration of one of our tagged monarch butterflies, is now released and there will be a public celebration on Saturday, September 16, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Sisters Area Chamber of Commerce building on Main Avenue.

There will be cake and punch, and many of the students who worked on the book will be on hand to sign copies of the book. Organizers also hope to have at least one butterfly to tag and release at the event.

"Journey's Flight" is available at Paulina Springs Books or on amazon.com.

"A close encounter with a monarch butterfly always strikes me as somewhat magical - and reading Journey's Flight is no different," said Melody Carlson, butterfly-lover and award-winning author of more than 200 books. "These unique stories of Journey's adventures, on what seems an impossible migration path, are truly inspired. It's not surprising that young people could capture the heart of a butterfly, and seeing their creative endeavors in the form of this wonderfully illustrated book is pure delight!"
