The Girl and the Little Butterfly

Mia loves her garden and greets a small orange and black butterfly each sunny morning. As she watches it move from flower to flower, she wonders what the butterfly needs and why it never stays long in one place.

When her teacher, Ms. Lee, wears a butterfly pin to school, Mia learns that butterflies need native plants for food and to lay eggs. With her friend Sam, she decides to create a butterfly garden behind the school. Aysel Banu YAVUZAL tells the story of their planning, digging, and waiting for the garden to grow. The tale can be read on Masal İzle, where young readers follow Mia's curiosity and learn how native plants help butterflies and other small creatures.
