Milkweed Matters Book Signing.

Saturday, March 14 –  10 am-1 pm at The Bird House.

The Bird House welcomes Lisa Conners to the store for a signing of her children’s book “Milkweed Matters.” Beginning with the life cycle of the milkweed plant, this book follows the other species intricately tied to it in a typical food chain starting with a milkweed plant in the US and ending with the owl and decomposers in Mexico. Other life cycles the reader will encounter are the monarch butterfly, black-eared mouse, owl and decomposers. This book aims to help young readers see the connections between life cycles and food chains. While nonfiction, it reads as a story to engage young readers and is also useful for teachers in the classroom through grade four. Second place in book category for the Virginia Outdooor Writers Association Excellence in Craft contest, 2017.
