Book: Bicycling with Butterflies My 10,201-Mile Journey Following the Monarch Migration by Sara Dykman

Winner of the 2021 National Outdoor Book Award in Outdoor Literature

In Bicycling with Butterflies, Dykman recounts her incredible journey becoming the first person to bicycle alongside monarch butterflies on their annual migration—a round-trip adventure that included three countries and more than 10,000 miles alone on a bicycle made of recycled parts. Join us to discuss this remarkable story and the wonders of migrating butterflies.

Participants are encouraged to read the selected book prior to the discussion. Books are not supplied but are available at Schumacher Library, partner libraries, and the Madison Public Library system.
