A heartwarming tale of a girl waiting for her belovedΒ PapΓ‘ to return when the monarchs fly south to their home in Mexico.
LucΓa loves to watch the monarchs' migration from her home in Mexico withΒ PapΓ‘. But this year, the monarchs' journey north holds extra weight;Β PapΓ‘ is heading north, too, to look for work.
