Why Do Butterflies Have Colours? (ZIVI ASKS WHY)

By Lifting Oseiwel

Why doesn't the brightest butterfly get caught first?

Zivi watches a bird almost catch a plain little brown butterfly - and then completely ignore a much bigger, much brighter blue one sitting right out in the open. That shouldn't make sense. And Zivi isn't going to let it go until she figures out why.

With her best friend Koko by her side (his first two guesses are both wrong, and pretty funny), Zivi follows both butterflies and discovers something most grown-ups never stopped to notice either: hiding isn't the only way to stay safe. Sometimes being loud is the smartest trick of all.

Zivi Asks Why is a picture book series for kids who never stop asking "but why?" - built on real science, told the way a five-year-old actually thinks: through noticing, guessing, and finding out.

Perfect for:

Curious preschoolers ages 3-6
Read-aloud time and bedtime routines
Parents who want real (not preachy) STEM and nature content
Kids who are learning that different doesn't mean worse
Book 2 of the Zivi Asks Why series.
Zivi's questions don't stop here.
