“Butterfly Island is well-told and illustrated. What an inspiring story of beautiful people and the nature they love.” Anurag Agrawal, James Perkins Professor of Environmental Studies - Cornell University

“Beautifully told and illustrated, Butterfly Island is an inspiring call to action for young readers, led by feisty protagonist, Ellen, who is sure to be a positive role model for girls.” Michelle Raimo Kouyate, Executive Film Producer  

"Ellen Federico's passion for butterflies continues to have an impact beyond her beloved Fire Island. This story will motivate children to join her. At the National Butterfly Center, we appreciate every effort intended to inspire people to connect with the outdoors and create healthy habitat that supports not just Monarchs, but for all species!"
