This Pipilo tale is called, "Butterflies." Let's celebrate monarch butterflies by learning about their amazing life cycle, hearing poems and stories about the incredible journey some of them undergo and learning new songs that speak to the ever evolving butterfly spirit in each of us. Did you know that mariposa means butterfly in Spanish? That is why we named the main character in this tale Mari, because it is short for mariposa or butterfly. This episode includes original stories and songs created and performed by Leah Ray Mendez. We also include a poem titled "I Write About the Butterfly" written by the fabulous Louisa May Alcott.
