The Life of a Butterfly
A sunny garden with tall pink flowers and leafy green plants. A girl of six with light skin and brown hair in two braids, in a yellow T-shirt and blue shorts, kneels and peers through a magnifying glass at a striped caterpillar resting on a leaf. Above her, an orange-and-black butterfly sips from a flower.
A butterfly starts life as a tiny egg on a leaf. A caterpillar hatches out and starts to eat.
