Young Fred Urquhart was fascinated by insects, especially his favorite, the monarch butterfly. He wondered where monarchs spent the winter. No one knew. After he became an entomologist (bug scientist), Fred and his wife, Norah, tagged hundreds of butterflies, hoping to solve the mystery of the monarchs. But they soon discovered that they needed help. They started a "butterfly family," a communite of children, teachers, and nature enthusists from three countries -- Canada, the United States, and Mexico -- to answer the question: Where do the monarchs go?
