Max and the Milkweed

Max is a young boy who strikes an unlikely friendship with a monarch butterfly named Lilly, who asks him to plant milkweed so she can lay her eggs on it the following spring. In a world filled with instant gratification, this book highlights how change happens over time and that we sometimes must wait patiently for those changes to occur.
