September 21, 2023

Carol Pasternak lives by the motto “It’s Gotta Be Fun”. That is what she brings to this episode.

Have you ever thought about having a caterpillar as a pet? You will want to after listening to her.

Egg hunts are not just from the Easter Bunny. Carol talks about her thrill and experiences searching for the eggs laid by butterflies and tracking down the caterpillar.

You’ll find out how exciting it is to watch a caterpillar transformed into a chrysalis then into a butterfly.

Also, what you can do to help overcome the challenges facing the Monarch Butterfly. What is good for the Monarch is good for nature and us.

Carol Pasternak is an author, teacher, photographer and sought after speaker who has been raising monarch butterflies with her families for 40 years.

In her free time, she can be found in ditches, meadows and forests, scouring every crevice for signs of wildlife.

Her book How to Raise Monarch Butterflies: A Step-by-Step Guide for Kids, has sold 60,000 copies and received international acclaim.

Her latest book, 5 Butterflies inspires young people to pause their devices to revel in the natural world outside their door.
