This a true story of two Grandparents GiGi and Poppy, who love the outdoors and spend most of their time outside on adventures. They especially love the big orange and black butterflies that fly around their backyard. To bring more of these beautiful creatures, they plant a butterfly garden, filled with flowers that butterflies like.

The orange and black butterflies are called Monarchs, and the butterfly garden brings dozens of them. One day, GiGi notices a strange yellow speck on a milkweed leaf. This mysterious speck turns out to be an egg and soon becomes a tiny caterpillar! They name their new friend Monica.

Monica eats and grows but then disappears. Where has she gone? Monica is making a new home inside a green chrysalis. It's time for Monica the caterpillar to become Monica the Monarch. Watch her transformation and see what happens when Monica makes her amazing entrance. And lastly, enjoy the authentic photos of Monica's life cycle.
