The Milkweed Lands

The Milkweed Lands

by Eric Lee-Mader

illustrated by Beverly Duncan

Follow a year in the life of milkweed and discover the remarkable role this often-overlooked plant plays in sustaining the meadow ecosystem. Ecologist Eric Lee-Mader and artist Beverly Duncan celebrate the resilience and significance of this native North American plant and the many lives that depend on it, from bees on the blossoms to monarch caterpillars on the leaves, from ants and aphids on the stems to beetles in the silken pods.
