Description

Twig and Monarch is a wonderful story about courage, growth, pride, humility, sadness and coming of age. While you might consider it a children’s story that takes place in a forest near you, there are life lessons that even adults reading the story can relate to. Read a few pages and you’ll soon learn that our three main characters are more than just flora in the forest.
