Event Details

“I don’t know much, but I know what I know. I gotta go. I gotta go to Mexico!” The little creepy crawly caterpillar in Sam Swope’s book, Gotta Go! Gotta Go! introduces children to the magnificent life cycle and migration of the endangered monarch butterfly. From egg to adult, children follow the journey of the monarch from its summer home in Canada and the United States to its wintering grounds in California and Mexico and back again. 

Following an interactive telling of this story, participants will take part in hands-on discovery by visiting live monarchs, learning about butterfly culture in these three countries, playing games that transform them into monarchs, and learning how to support monarchs right in their own neighborhoods.

 

Please note: Our children's programs are planned so that they are developmentally appropriate for children of the age range specified. Please respect these age limitations when registering children for programs.
