Gentian Helps the Monarchs

At the core of Wilkinson Park's prairie, where wildflowers dance, and whispers linger in the grass, resides Gentian-a thoughtful and adventurous fairy with a talent for weaving and a passion for nature. Together with her close friend Rooster, Gentian dedicates her days to creating, discovering, and safeguarding the prairie's wildlife and flora. However, on a bright afternoon, a perplexing puzzle arrives in her life-a sorrowful Monarch Butterfly struggling to locate a spot to deposit her eggs. Milkweed plants are vanishing... whoosh... right in front of her eyes! As Gentian embarks on the quest to uncover the mystery of the disappearing milkweed, she must rely on her intelligence, bravery, and kindness to aid the Monarchs in their survival. Guided by Rooster's grandmother, Grandma Monarch, her Swamp Fairy friends, and a drowsy Tree Frog, Gentian and Rooster expose the unlikely milkweed thief. As Gentian works to restore harmony to her beloved park, she strengthens friendships and nurtures conservation awareness. Brimming with charm, laughter, and the enchantment of the plains, Gentian Helps the Monarchs is a delightful journey for young readers who cherish nature, camaraderie, and fairies who endlessly inquire.
