That's because everyone has marvelous memories of her two older sisters, who were practically perfect first graders. Poor Velma--people can barely remember her name. But all that changes on a class trip to the magnificent Butterfly Conservatory--a place neither of her sisters has ever been. When a monarch roosts on Velma's finger and won't budge for days . . . well, no one will forget Velma ever again. Acclaimed and bestselling illustrator Kevin Hawkes and author Alan Madison celebrate everything butterfly--from migration to metamorphosis. Watch as Velma Gratch metamorphosizes from a timid first grader into a confident young scientist \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eALAN MADISON is the author of \u003ci\u003eThe Littlest Grape Stomper\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePecorino's First Concert\u003c\/i\u003e, in addition to being a film and television writer. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKEVIN HAWKES is the illustrator of many well-loved books for young readers, including \u003ci\u003eChicken Cheeks \u003c\/i\u003eby Michael Ian Black, \u003ci\u003eLibrary Lion\u003c\/i\u003e by Michelle Knudsen, \u003ci\u003e Weslandi\u003c\/i\u003ea by Paul Fleischman, and \u003ci\u003eMy Little Sister Ate One Hare \u003c\/i\u003eby Bill Grossman.
