Far from the Forest is about the adventures of Kimimila (Mimi), a monarch butterfly. Mimi has emerged from her hibernation deep in the forest of Michoac?n, Mexico, where she is befriended by Juan, a tree frog, who helps her prepare for her journey to America.
She travels the migration path of her ancestors and is blown off course by a thunderstorm that separates her from the Monarch swarm. Upon crashing into a chokecherry tree, her wing becomes caught on a branch. Frightened and alone, she has no idea where she is or who will help her.
A Lakota tale soars! Oglala Lakota author Tracy Hauff weaves a story of Kimimila, a monarch butterfly, on her incredible journey from Mexico to the Pine Ridge Reservation. Breathtaking illustrations by Spirit Lake Dakota artist Ame Myles bring this colorful migration to life.
